Key result
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were utilized to identify and diagnose a rare case of primary cardiac diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
Why the study?
Primary cardiac lymphoma is rare with a poor prognosis, though recent advances in imaging diagnosis and chemotherapy have improved survival.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the use of CT and MRI in the evaluation of primary cardiac lymphoma, a rare extranodal malignancy.

CT/MRI aid rare primary cardiac lymphoma diagnosis; extends case reports but leaves practice standards open.
Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare extranodal malignant lymphoma that involves only the heart and pericardium without dissemination. The prognosis of primary cardiac lymphoma is poor. But, recent advances in imaging diagnosis and chemotherapy have improved survival. We report histologically diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma involving the heart with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging images.
