In this case report we present the history of a patient with Cardiac mass detected at echocardiography. By further evaluation, the patient has undergone cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging prior to cardiac surgery. This study can therefore contribute to the diagnosis of multiple cardiac masses and its relationship to other cardiac structures. These assessments are important to plan strategy of surgical intervention. MR Imaging technique offers the ability to enable discrimination of different tissue characteristics. The use of contrast material MR imaging, has additional properties such as examination of vascularity degree of tissue. This information can be showed by first-pass perfusion technique and the late-enhancement MR imaging study. The purpose of this paper is to describe MR Imaging findings of this extremely un frequent presentation of multiple primary cardiac liomyosarcoma in a young boy.
