    Cardiac tumors are rare, with primary tumors having an incidence of 0.001%–0.03%, primarily consisting of benign myxomas.

  • 2

    Echocardiography is the first-line imaging tool for cardiac tumors due to its noninvasive nature and real-time capabilities.

  • 3

    Recent advances in echocardiographic techniques, including 3D echocardiography and CEUS, improve diagnostic accuracy over traditional methods.

  • 4

    Current research faces limitations such as nonstandardized imaging parameters and a lack of multicenter validation for diagnostic thresholds.

  • 5

    The review emphasizes the need for standardization and integration of multimodal echocardiographic approaches for better cardiac tumor assessment.
