The diagnosis of cardiac tumors relies mainly on the use of different cardiovascular imaging techniques, the main one being echocardiography in its different variants (transthoracic, transesophageal, contrast, three-dimensional, etc.), without excluding computerized cardiac tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance. We present the case of a patient with a giant mass in right chambers, which serves as an example of the application of some of these imaging techniques.
