[Malignant lymphoma of the heart. Contribution of modern technics of medical imaging].
Although rarely encountered, tumours of the heart are now more easily and frequently diagnosed owing to the availability of non-invasive imaging methods, notably echocardiography. With echocardiography the cardiac extension of the tumour is perfectly visualized, but its connections with the mediastinum are less readily accessible. The case presented here of a female patients with a malignant lymphoma involving the heart (right ventricle and atrium, pericardium) and the mediastinum illustrates the complementary nature of echocardiography, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
