Abstract

Cardiac tumors are rare diseases with various imaging findings. However, differentiating cardiac tumors based on imaging findings is challenging because of similarities in imaging features. We present two cases of cardiac tumors, including primary cardiac lymphoma and cardiac metastasis, in which the differential diagnosis was difficult.

심장 종양은 매우 드물고 다양한 영상의학적 소견을 보이나 영상 소견만으로는 감별이 쉽지 않다. 저자들은 영상 소견으로 감별이 어려웠던 두 증례인, 드문 원발성 심장 림프종양과 전이성 심장암 증례에 대하여 보고하고자 한다.
