Cardiac malignant tumors are rare entities with nonspecific clinical presentation and poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of about a 30-year-old man who was admitted for right thoracic pain. Imaging indicated a cardiac malignant tumor, and pathology confirmed the diagnosis. Our case highlights the value of multimodal imaging in the differential diagnosis of a cardiac mass.
