This case report describes the finding of a pericardial effusion and intrapericardial Doppler flow signals in a patient with a history of treated mediastinal lymphoma and prior atrial septal defect closure.
A 50-year-old woman with a 2-year history of primary mediastinal large B-cell lym-phoma treated with six chemotherapy cycles EPOCH-R (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and rituxi-mab) underwent follow-up thoracic computed tomography (CT). A moderately sized circumferential pericardial effusion was visualised but no lymphoma recurrence was detected. Past medical history included surgical closure of a type 2 atrial septal defect (ASD) more than 20 years ago.
