Lymphoma encasing the heart: large mediastinal mass with myocardial infiltration and coronary artery involvement
Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma with myocardial infiltration and coronary encasement is a rare cause of chest pain and dyspnea in young patients. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and photon-counting coronary CT play a pivotal role in detecting myocardial and coronary artery involvement. Early recognition is crucial as these findings directly affect treatment and prognosis.
