Abstract
• Echocardiography is usually the first imaging modality ordered for evaluation of a cardiac mass. • Although echocardiography cannot define the histopathology of a mass, it can identify the presence, location, and tissue characteristics of the mass, which can thus narrow the differential diagnosis. • Echocardiography is useful in evaluating tumor sequelae such as blood flow obstruction, valvular regurgitation, and myocardial dysfunction.
