Insights

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.
