title: Subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement in two patients with anthracycline cardiotoxicity following treatment for Ewing's sarcoma.
abstract: Cardiotoxicity is a well-known consequence of anthracycline chemotherapy. We report CMR findings not previously described in two patients with anthracycline cardiotoxicity following treatment for Ewing's sarcoma. Subendocardial enhancement on late gadolinium contrast-enhanced CMR was present in both cases, with histological correlation in one case.
