Primary cardiac malignancies are extremely rare (1). The 2 most common tumors (i.e., angiosarcoma and lymphoma) are usually right sided and often located near the right atrial wall and right atrioventricular groove, hampering differentiation on cardiac imaging. We describe the value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in 12 patients with these tumors (7 angiosarcomas and 5 cardiac lymphomas [all B cell non-Hodgkin, HIV negative], all confirmed by biopsy [n = 11] or autopsy [n = 1]).
