Abstract

CASTRO ARCA, Ángela et al. Diagnosis of a systemic disease based on an intracardiac mass. Rev cubana med [online]. 2014, vol.53, n.3, pp. 348-353. ISSN 0034-7523.

Occurrence of highly malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the heart is extremely rare. Their clinical manifestations vary with the location of the tumor. Therefore, their presence should be suspected whenever an intracardiac mass is observed. A case is presented of diffuse large B-cell stage IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma exclusively by the echocardiographic finding of an intracardiac mass.

Keywords : non-Hodgkin lymphoma; intracardiac mass; echocardiogram.
