Primary cardiac lymphoma, a rare cancer, was diagnosed in a 60-year-old woman. Despite treatment, microscopic disease persisted in the heart, highlighting challenges in managing this rare cardiac tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary cardiac lymphoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can rarely originate in the heart.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old female presented with an 8-month febrile syndrome.
  • Initial echocardiograms were negative; transesophageal echocardiogram revealed cardiac tumors.
  • Subsequent lymph node biopsy confirmed diffuse non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Findings:

  • The patient had probable primary cardiac lymphoma with secondary lymph node involvement.
  • Despite chemotherapy, autopsy revealed persistent microscopic cardiac lesions.
  • Histology and phenotypic markers of cardiac and lymph node lesions were identical.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of primary cardiac lymphoma.
  • It highlights the potential for persistent microscopic disease despite macroscopic remission.
  • Further research into early detection and treatment of cardiac lymphomas is warranted.
