A member asked:
Could a cardiac neoplasm show up on an echo or chest x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe echo: A mass inside the heart or in the wall of the heart would not likely show up on a chest xray. If the mass was large enough or caused the heart to enlarge or if there was a pericardial effusion associated with it, there may be an indirect finding on the xray. But the mass itself would not show up on the xray. Ct of the chest could also potentially see a focal mass in the heart.
