Multimodality imaging for cardiac lymphoma (Letter)

Abstract

We were very impressed with the work of Shikuma et al. in their approach to this tumor, with unusual appearance, later proved to be cardiac lymphoma comprising large B cells. We also advocate for utilising multiple imaging modalities in such an instance. A single imaging modality is often simply not able to provide a comprehensive assessment. The different modalities provide information critical to the diagnosis and management of these uncommon tumours—which have a poor prognosis. This concurs with the tenets advocated by Mato et al.
