Abstrakt: 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
