Popis: Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a very rare subtype of malignant lymphoma that is difficult to diagnose. Cases of myocardial infarction caused by IVLBCL are even rarer. Herein, we report a case presenting with heart failure and delayed enhancement in the hypokinetic cardiac septum on contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Myocardial biopsy showed large B-cell lymphoma cells in the microvessels within the myocardium. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of imaging findings of cardiac involvement in IVLBCL.
