Multimodality Imaging of Extensive Caseating Intramyocardial Calcification Secondary to Lymphoma

Multimodality imaging of extensive caseating intramyocardial calcification secondary to lymphoma.

An intramyocardial ‘cyst-like’ mass: Complementary role of multimodality imaging

A 28-year-old female who had been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at the age of 5, presented to our clinic with the complaint of shortness of breath on exertion. The ECG showed 0.5 mm ST depression and negative T waves in V2-V4 derivations (Fig. 1). Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography revealed normal left ventricle dimensions with an ejection fraction of 60%. There was a unilocular, ...

Multimodality imaging of caseous calcification of mitral annulus.

A 73-year-old woman presented with sinoatrial block. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a tumor-like mass (2.5 cm × 3.0 cm) located in the mitral annulus (Fig. 1(A)). Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus was suspected, which was supported by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Fig. 1 (B-D)). Mitral valve replacement was performed using a 25-mm Mosaic Ultra...

Multimodality imaging of a dissecting intramyocardial hematoma extending into the left atrial wall following myocardial infarction.

Five days after the onset of substernal chest pain, a 60-year-old man with a history of hypertension, smoking (60 pack-years), severe bullous emphysema, and epilepsy presented with acutely worsening chest pain. Pharmacological management for non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was initiated based on 12-lead ECG findings of subtle anterolateral ST segment changes (V2–V5) and a troponi...

Extensive pleural calcification.

Pleural calcification is a commonly encountered diagnostic finding in daily practice. A 55 year old male patient presented to us with chest pain for last 3 months. There was a past history of pleural effusion, for which he took ATT for six months. Physical examination was unremarkable. On investigation, ECG showed ST depression in inferior leads. Patient was treated as ischemic heart disease an...
