May aid rare cardiac mass evaluation; case report leaves open prospective validation.
Case Report (n=1)
The integration of multiple imaging modalities is highly useful for the characterization, localization, and diagnosis of unusual cardiac masses such as mediastinal lymphoma with cardiac involvement.
Goldman et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Mediastinal lymphoma with cardiac involvement (n=1). Integrated cardiovascular imaging (CT, echocardiography, MRI, PET, MRI-PET fusion) was evaluated. Integrated cardiovascular imaging successfully characterized and localized a high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma invading the pericardium and right heart.
