Masquerade of an emergency: cardiac tamponade as a deceptive presentation of primary cardiac diffuse large b-cell lymphoma-a case report.

Background: Primary cardiac diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (CDLBCL) is an exceptionally rare entity, estimated to represent less than 1% of all primary cardiac tumours. In this case report, we emphasize the diagnostic importance of multimodality imaging and the need for additional procedures, such as tissue biopsy, in a case with a primary cardiac lymphoma presenting with cardiac tamponade.

Case Summary: An 80-year-old male was admitted to the emergency department with a life-threatening tamponade demanding immediate sternotomy.

Magnetic resonance imaging of fetal bone marrow for quantitative definition of the human fetal stem cell compartment.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to distinguish bone marrow (BM) from cartilage and may therefore be used to measure BM volume in intact bones. We used MRI to measure the total human fetal BM volume in intact fetuses during the second trimester of pregnancy and determined the contribution of the individual bones to the total compartment. The total BM volume ranged from 934 microL at 17 to 18 weeks to 4563 microL at 22 to 23 weeks of gestation.
