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.

Abstract
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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
