Why the study?
Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy, and the authors report an unusual case linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma without hypereosinophilia and accompanied by rapidly developing intracardiac thrombus.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the utility of cardiac MRI in detecting rapidly developing intracardiac thrombus in a rare case of endomyocardial fibrosis associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Introduction Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy, particularly prevalent in tropical regions. This condition is commonly associated with peripheral blood hypereosinophilia, though it may also occur in the absence of such finding. In this report, we describe an unusual case of EMF linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma without hypereosinophilia, accompanied by a rapidly developing intracardiac thrombus. […]
