“…The tumor lesion in pulmonary vessels, the superior vena cava, and the upper part of RA may not be detected by TTE. Conversely, TEE usually offers excellent images of the cardiac base and is useful to detect extracardiac pathology of the mediastinum 8 . In our case, TEE confirms RA infiltration and revealed infiltrative nodule tumor of the cavo‐atrial junction.…”

Echocardiography

Cardiac involvement by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is not uncommon, however rarely diagnosed during life due to nonspecific clinical presentation. We report a case of secondary cardiac lymphoma in patient who presented with new-onset atrial fibrillation. Cardiac lymphoma was in a form of bulky right atrial mass, infiltrating the atrial septum and cavo-atrial junction with concomitant mild pericardial effusion. In the present case, we illustrate complementary role of transthoracic, transesophageal echocardiography and multislice CT scan with three-dimensional reconstruction, in detection and evaluation of secondary cardiac tumor. Usefulness of echocardiography to follow up the effects of chemotherapy is also shown.
