Overview

Alerts clinicians to rare cardiac PGL in recurrent pericarditis; leaves open optimal diagnostic pathways in young patients.

Structured PICO

P
Population
19-year-old male with recurrent acute pericarditis and a cardiac mass
I
Intervention
Integrated imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance, cardiac computed tomography, Gallium-68 positron emission tomography, 123-I-MIBG scintigraphy)
O
Outcome
Diagnosis and characterization of the cardiac mass

Integrated multimodality imaging is essential for the diagnosis, characterization, and surgical planning of rare cardiac tumors such as paragangliomas.
