Key result
Multiple imaging examinations, including echocardiography, three-dimensional computed tomography, and gallium-67-citrate scintigraphy, successfully detected diffuse cardiac involvement of malignant lymphoma antemortem.
Case Report (n=1)
A combination of imaging techniques including echocardiography, 3D CT, and gallium-67 scintigraphy can detect diffuse cardiac involvement of malignant lymphoma antemortem in patients with poor general condition.

May aid antemortem detection of cardiac lymphoma; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Ishiwata et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Malignant lymphoma with diffuse cardiac involvement (n=1). Multiple imaging examinations (echocardiography, CT, gallium-67-citrate scintigraphy) was evaluated on Detection of diffuse cardiac involvement. Multiple imaging examinations, including echocardiography, three-dimensional computed tomography, and gallium-67-citrate scintigraphy, successfully detected diffuse cardiac involvement of malignant lymphoma antemortem.
