“…Heart and pericardium are rarely involved in NHL. The involvement is usually revealed by cardiac complications and is associated with a poor prognosis [21,22]. Few cases of cardiac involvement in NHL have been reported, both primary and metastatic, detected by 18 F-FDG PET-CT [9][10][11].…”

We present a case of a 23 year-old male treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma who developed diffuse large Bcell lymphoma (DLBCL) 8 years after achieving remission. 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET-CT) was done, which revealed extensive extranodal involvement of bilateral atria, bilateral kidneys, ileo-caecal junction and left testis along with mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymph nodal involvement. Renal and cardiac lesions were not detected by contrast-enhanced CT. Simultaneous lymphomatous involvement of rare sites such as heart, kidneys and testis in a single patient has not been reported before.

“…Metastases to the heart and pericardium are rare [1] in NHL but are associated with a poor prognosis, and are usually revealed by cardiac complications [2]. In these cases, FDG PET allowed early diagnosis and earlier chemotherapy, leading to the disappearance of cardiac locations before the occurrence of any cardiac complications, and therefore improving survival.…”

We describe two rare cardiac findings on baseline FDG PET in histologically proven aggressive large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).The first case is a 21-year-old woman with stage IV NHL with a superior mediastinal mass and two lung nodules on contrast-enhanced CT images. FDG PET/CT showed intense uptake in these lesions and, without contiguity, a round pathological cardiac uptake in the apical septum and the right ventricle (a, b FDG PET images; c, d fusion FDG PET/CT images; transverse and sagittal, respectively). The electrocardiogram showed negative T-waves in the septal location with left chest pain and dyspnoea. Transthoracic echocardiography confirmed the presence of a 3-cm mass near the apex with development towards the right and left ventricles, without thrombus or pericardial effusion. Cardiac MR imaging revealed a hyperintense aspect on T2-weighted sequences, isointense on T1 sequences (e cine sequence T2-/T1-weighted image; f short-axis T2-weigted black blood SPIR image). This mass had disappeared on FDG PET/CT and echocardiography performed after two and four cycles of chemotherapy.The second case is a 51-year-old man with stage III NHL on CT imaging who underwent FDG PET/CT revealing posterior parietal right auricular involvement (g transverse FDG PET image; h fusion FDG PET/CT image), confirmed on MR imaging (i T1-weighted SE image, black blood, four chambers view). The FDG PET/CT scan at the end of treatment was normal.Metastases to the heart and pericardium are rare [1] in NHL but are associated with a poor prognosis, and are usually revealed by cardiac complications [2]. In these cases, FDG PET allowed early diagnosis and earlier chemotherapy, leading to the disappearance of cardiac locations before the occurrence of any cardiac complications, and therefore improving survival.Conflicts of interest None.
