AbstractDistinguishing the benign and malignant cardiac masses is usually a diagnostic challenge, and safe, non-invasive, and reliable techniques are necessary to avoid any delay in treatment. The previously described “sun ray” appearance is an important sign in the diagnosis of cardiac angiosarcoma, and in this report we present 3-T magnetic resonance imaging findings to distinguish the rare but fatal cardiac angiosarcoma.

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a relatively common disorder that occasionally presents as cardiac mass. Here, we present a case of extreme lipomatous hypertrophy up to 4 cm in diameter and extending into the epicardium, posterior wall of the right atrium and the atrioventricular sulcus. Diagnosis was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
