Snippet 217: Real Masses - Indeterminate
This is a snippet that deals with lesions, typically in the myocardium that cannot be diagnosed without a biopsy, whether of the lesion itself or of another lesion elsewhere in the body, diagnosed after a whole-body study, typically a PET done to find other such lesions.
These include.
- Angiosarcoma
- Tumefactive TB
- Metastasis
- Lymphoma
- Histiocytosis
The video runs through these with examples.
