Summary
A rare case of pericardial diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy. This minimally invasive approach proved safe and effective for diagnosing primary pericardial lymphoma.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary pericardial lymphomas are exceptionally rare conditions.
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can rarely manifest primarily in the pericardium.

Pericarditis is distinguished by inflammation of the pericardium, the fibrous sac that encases the heart. It can be acute, lasting less than six weeks, or chronic, persisting for over three months. Understanding its clinical manifestations and diagnostic findings is crucial for timely and effective management.Clinical ManifestationsWhile pericarditis can be asymptomatic, it usually presents with characteristic symptoms such as:Chest Pain: The most characteristic symptom of pericarditis is chest...

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...
