  • Title: Intra-cardiac Burkitt's lymphoma mimicking acute pulmonary embolism.
    Author: Fatimi S, Sheikh S, Shah Z, Shafiq M.
    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2006 Aug; 16(8):536-7. PubMed ID: 16899184.
    Abstract:
    Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare clinical entity with poor prognosis and delayed diagnosis is often due to variable and non-specific clinical presentation. The case of an elderly male is reported with multiple co-morbidities, who had undergone a spinal laminectomy two weeks prior to presentation, later presented to the emergency room (E.R.) with acute chest pain, dyspnea and hypoxemia. A diagnosis of intracardiac thrombus was made, based on the clinical picture and echocardiography findings but per-operatively, he was found to have an extensive, non-resectable cardiac tumor.
