title: [Bronchial cancer with extension into the heart. Apropos of a case with magnetic resonance imaging].
abstract: The authors report a case of a 64-year-old patient with an adenocarcinoma of the bronchus with mediastinal involvement. The echocardiography and CT scan showed the existence of involvement of the left auricle. Confirmation and the extent of the intra-cardiac involvement were provided by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging which confirmed the diagnosis here and was particularly helpful. The authors further recall that the place of nuclear magnetic resonance as a standard investigation in assessing staging in bronchial cancer remains to be determined in relation to CT scanning.
