Transthoracic echocardiography, 16-MDCT, and magnetic resonance imaging effectively characterized primary cardiac Burkitt's lymphoma in an immunocompromised patient.
Highlights the utility of multimodality imaging including echocardiography, MDCT, and MRI in diagnosing rare primary cardiac lymphoma.

May aid rare cardiac lymphoma diagnosis in immunocompromised patients; hypothesis-generating from single case, needs prospective validation.
Although primary cardiac lymphoma is an extremely rare disease and is associated with high mortality, it is treatable when diagnosed appropriately. We describe the transthoracic echocardiography, 16-row multidetector computed tomography (16-MDCT) and magnetic resonance findings of primary cardiac lymphoma in an immunocompromised patient and review of the literature.
