“…In general, clinical diagnosis of primary cardiac tumors can be made by echocardiography. It has been reported that echocardiography has high sensitivity and specificity for clinical identification of primary cardiac tumors and is the preferred initial modality, but CT and MR imaging add very specific information in the evaluation of primary cardiac neoplasms [24,25]. In the presented case, repeated echocardiogram had missed the diagnosis of the cardiac IMT although it had identified the anomalous left circumflex coronary artery arising from the proximal right coronary artery.…”

“…Radiological evaluation, which is still the first diagnostic step, usually begins with chest radiography, which typically reveals abnormal findings including cardiomegaly, signs of heart failure, abnormalities of cardiac contour, and pleural effusions [31]. Specific chamber enlargement may result from various intracavitary tumors, whereas mural lesions may produce abnormal contours or cardiac enlargement [32].…”
