RESULTS
Irregular tumor margins, pericardial effusion, invasion, solid nature, mass diameter, CT contrast uptake, and pre-contrast characteristics were strongly associated with the malignant nature of masses.

CONCLUSIONS
Cardiac CT is a powerful tool to diagnose cardiac masses as the number of abnormal signs was found to correlate with the lesions' nature. Similarly,
