Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a very rare subtype of malignant lymphoma that is difficult to diagnose. Cases of myocardial infarction caused by IVLBCL are even rarer. Herein, we report a case presenting with heart failure and delayed enhancement in the hypokinetic cardiac septum on contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Myocardial biopsy showed large B-cell lymphoma cells in the microvessels within the myocardium. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of imaging findings of cardiac involvement in IVLBCL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
