Primary cardiac lymphoma, a rare condition, often delays diagnosis due to varied symptoms. This case highlights MRI findings suggestive of cardiac lymphoma, including infiltrative patterns and specific signal characteristics.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Primary cardiac lymphoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
  • Clinical presentation is highly variable, often leading to diagnostic delays.

Observation:

  • A case of primary cardiac lymphoma in an 85-year-old woman is presented.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a large mass in the right atrio-ventricular groove.
  • The mass infiltrated the interventricular septum and left ventricular wall, showing subtle contrast enhancement.

Findings:

  • MRI demonstrated isointense signal on T1-weighted and hyperintense signal on T2-weighted sequences.
  • Radiological signs are often non-specific, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Specific features like calcification, hemorrhage, diffuse infiltration, and left atrial involvement can suggest the diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Early recognition of subtle imaging findings is crucial for timely diagnosis of primary cardiac lymphoma.
  • Advanced imaging techniques like MRI play a vital role in characterizing cardiac masses.
  • Understanding characteristic radiological patterns can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
