Discussion

Multimodality imaging may suggest primary cardiac lymphoma; leaves open the necessity of histopathological confirmation in rare cardiac masses.

Population

86-year-old woman admitted with heart failure, subsequently diagnosed with primary cardiac lymphoma

Intervention

Multimodality imaging (echocardiography, CT, Gallium-67 scintigraphy) and autopsy

Outcome

Diagnosis of primary cardiac lymphoma
