Overview
Chest X-ray
- ECG and X-ray yield no crucial diagnostic information. Echocardiography is the main initial diagnostic tool.[1]
- Usually tumors are not visualized on Chest X-Rays until they are large enough to cause obstructive symptoms.[1]
- However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of certain complications of ,cardiac tumors which include heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and pericardial effusion.
- Some tumors and their chest X-ray findings are:
| Tumor | Findings |
|---|---|
| Myxoma | Approximately one-third of patients have clear chest X-Ray. Cardiomegaly is observed in 37 percent and 50 percent of left and right atrial myxomas, respectively. |
| Papillary Fibroelastoma | If the tumor obstructs the mitral valve, and CXRs may indicate an accompanying dilatation of heart chambers and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension and congestion. |
| Cardiac Fibroma | CXR may demonstrate cardiomegaly with or without a distinct protrusion, and in 15% of instances, calcification is apparent. |
| Pericardial Teratoma | Massive pericardial effusion |
| Hemangioma | Massive pericardial effusion leading to tamponade. |
| Rhabdomyosarcoma | Chest X-Ray findings of congestive heart failure. |
| Fibrosarcoma | Mediastinal mass and pericardial effusion |
| Angiosarcoma | Pericardial effusion |
