Cardiac magnetic resonance as the key to uncovering unusual disseminated histoplasmosis: a case report
In this case report, we emphasize the essential role of a multimodal imaging approach in diagnosing cardiac inflammatory diseases. CMR was pivotal providing a three-dimensional perspective of the mediastinum, which led to the identification of a retrocardiac mediastinal mass that might have otherwise gone undetected. This highlights the importance of integrating multimodality imaging techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide effective treatment strategies.
