title: Primary cardiac lymphoma demonstrated by delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging that nullifies the signal of normal myocardium produces great differences in myocardial signal intensity between normal and infarcted myocardium. A case of primary cardiac lymphoma is presented in which delayed contrast-enhanced MR imaging clearly identified the localization and extension of a lymphoma infiltrating the myocardium.
