Primary cardiac lymphoma is a very rare form of lymphoma primarily or mainly involving the heart, as in the two cases presented in this report. Various imaging modalities, including coronary computed tomography angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography were useful for the characterization and diagnosis of cardiac mass. Pathologic confirmation was successful with endomyocardial biopsy under echocardiographic guidance, intra- and extracardiacally. In primary cardiac lymphoma, diagnosis using multiple modalities may be useful for mass characterization, and for response monitoring after chemotherapy.
原发性心脏淋巴瘤是一种非常罕见的淋巴瘤，主要或主要累及心脏，就如本报告中的两个病例所示。包括冠状动脉计算机断层血管造影、心脏磁共振成像和正电子发射断层扫描在内的各种成像方式有助于心脏肿块的特征描述和诊断。通过超声心动图引导的心内膜和心外心肌活检成功获得了病理证实。在原发性心脏淋巴瘤中，多种方式的诊断可能有助于肿块特征描述，并有助于化疗后反应监测。
