Primary Cardiac Lymphoma: Importance of Tissue Diagnosis

Figure 2

Transthoracic echo—parasternal long axis view. The cardiac cycle is in systole and the right ventricle fails to have concentric contraction demonstrated by the loss of curvature in the posterior right ventricle (^∗). This indicates severe right ventricle dysfunction with severe hypokinesis/akinesis in the basal to apical wall due to infiltration. The cardiac tissue overall lacks any significant involvement of the posterior walls given the normal left atrium and left ventricle.
