title: Resolution of an intracardiac mass with chemotherapy.
abstract: Right atrial intracardiac tumours are uncommonly seen during echocardiography. Our patient presented with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma with intracardiac involvement. The tumour was seen by echocardiography and the extent of the tumour was defined by CT scan of the chest. Following chemotherapy directed to her specific tumour cell type, there was complete resolution of the intracardiac mass.
