Core Tip

Core Tip: In this editorial, we comment on a case report by Huffaker et al. According to the authors of this article, the objective of presenting this case was to bring medical attention to evolve effective strategies to detect and manage cardiac masses in rare clinical conditions like Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). Though it has been reported in many cancers, its presence should not rule out other possible predictions in the diagnosis of unexplored cardiac masses. Hence in this editorial article, we will focus specifically on the significance of alternative modus operandi to scrutinize cardiac masses in LFS.
