A case of primary cardiac lymphoma: analysis of the role of echocardiography in early diagnosis

Giorgio Faganello et al. Echocardiography. 2007 Sep.

Abstract

Primary Cardiac Lymphoma (PCL) is defined as a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving only the heart and/or pericardium. Diagnosis of this rare disease is particularly difficult due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations. In this review the role of echocardiography in the early diagnosis of PCL is assessed, moreover we report an improvement in the outcome of PCL related to increased availability and utilization of echocardiography.
