title: Primary cardiac Burkett's type lymphoma: transthoracic echocardiography, multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance findings.
abstract: Although primary cardiac lymphoma is an extremely rare disease and is associated with high mortality, it is treatable when diagnosed appropriately. We describe the transthoracic echocardiography, 16-row multidetector computed tomography (16-MDCT) and magnetic resonance findings of primary cardiac lymphoma in an immunocompromised patient and review of the literature.
