STEMI or not STEMI? A multimodality imaging approach to a challenging intracardiac mass with a tricky presentation

Cardiac tumors, due to the various clinical scenarios and their histological subtypes, are still challenging for clinicians. They are differentiated into primary and secondary. The latest are more common and are usually lung and breast cancers, melanomas, and lymphoma metastasis. We present a case of a 73-year-old woman, with a history of breast cancer 10 years earlier, admitted to Cath lab for an elevation of the ST-segment of the electrocardiogram, myocardial infarction. Echocardiogram showed a curious abnormality in the myocardial wall. Thanks to a multimodality imaging strategy, including contrast-enhanced echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance, characterization of the underlying pathology was clear and, thus, the appropriate management and therapy.
