This case study describes a rare cardiac T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a young African female. The study suggests that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infections may facilitate this exceptional cardiac neoplasm.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare malignancy.
  • Cardiac involvement by lymphoma is exceptionally uncommon.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) are known immunosuppressants.

Observation:

  • A 17-year-old African female presented with pleural and pericardial effusion unresponsive to tuberculosis treatment.
  • Echocardiography revealed rapid infiltration of the left ventricle.
  • The patient died before definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Findings:

  • Pericardial histopathology confirmed cardiac T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • This is the first reported case in West Africa.
  • The patient was negative for HIV infection.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential role of HIV and HTLV infections in facilitating rare cardiac neoplasms.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac lymphoma are crucial.
  • Further research is needed to understand the pathogenesis of cardiac lymphoma in immunocompromised individuals.
