We report an unusual case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in a 15-year-old boy where a mass lesion, presumed to be a cardiac metastasis, was noted in the right ventricular wall and cavity at the time of initial routine echocardiography. The lesion resolved, without surgical intervention, following the institution of multi-agent chemotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
