Primary Cardiac Lymphoma: Importance of Tissue Diagnosis
Figure 1
Computed tomography chest with pulmonary embolism protocol. (a) Transverse view and (b) coronal view. In the transverse view, there is extensive involvement of the anterior portion of the cardiac tissue and that encases the right atrium, right ventricle, and the great vessels (ā). There is evidence of filling defect in both the transverse and coronal views of the right atrium and ventricle, which suggests that the surrounding mass has infiltrated transmurally. The coronal view demonstrates how extensive the invasion is likely from an anterior to posterior approach. There is also extensive thickening of the transeptal and free wall.
