Echocardiographic recognition of the cardiac mural tumor.
An abnormal echocardiographic signal was detected in the myocardium on the echocardiographic examination of the septum and posterior left ventricular wall in a patient found to have lymphosarcoma which was diffusely infiltrated in the myocardium. This echocardiographic abnormality was well correlated with the autopsy findings. Echocardiography appears to be one of useful methods in diagnosing cardiac mural tumor antemortemly.
