Popis:	Echocardiography has changed the prognosis of cardiac tumors which was in the past poor not only for malignant, but also for benignant lesions. In fact, cardiac masses could not be suspected until progressive obstruction of cardiac chambers and/or embolic events occurred. The ultrasound diagnosis of cardiac tumors depends on the technological level of the instrumentation and on the operator’s skill and experience, which is particularly true for small and unusual lesions. The cardiologist performing the examination should know the clinical history of the patient and should be expert on the wide spectrum of cardiac masses which may be occasionally encountered during a routine examination.
