| X | Chest radiography and computed tomography demonstrated cardiac enlargement. |
| X + 1 month | Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transoesphageal echocardiography showed a cardiac mass on the epicardial free wall of the left atrium and ventricle. |
| X + 2 months | 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) showed elevated uptake by the mass. |
| X + 4 months | A needle biopsy with total endoscopic anterolateral mini-thoracotomy revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. |
| X + 5 months | Systemic chemotherapy with mini-R CHOP was initiated. |
| X + 6 months | Repeat TTE and 18F-FDG-PET demonstrated tumour regression and complete metabolic response. |
| X + 8 months | Six cycles of chemotherapy were completed with complete metabolic response. |
