Primary cardiac lymphoma, a rare cancer, has a poor prognosis. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and treating this aggressive malignancy, emphasizing the need for early detection.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary cardiac lymphoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy with a generally poor prognosis.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for potentially improving outcomes in patients with cardiac tumors.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 69-year-old male diagnosed with primary cardiac lymphoma via antemortem examination.
  • Computed tomography revealed a large right atrial mass invading adjacent cardiac chambers, with no mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
  • Cytologic analysis of pericardial effusion confirmed diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Findings:

  • The patient received chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunomycin, oncovin, prednisone) but succumbed to low-output syndrome and multiple organ failure on day 18.
  • Autopsy revealed a massive tumor occupying the right atrium and invading the right inferior lung lobe.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the aggressive nature and poor prognosis associated with primary cardiac lymphoma.
  • Despite the grim outlook, the report suggests that earlier diagnostic interventions may offer a window for improved therapeutic strategies.
