Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is rare, often presenting in the right atrium with varied symptoms. Early diagnosis via imaging and pathology is crucial, with chemotherapy as the primary treatment, though large tumors may have a poorer prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
  • PCL predominantly affects the right atrium, presenting with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Early detection is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and late diagnosis, often leading to a poor prognosis.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old male presented with a large (8 x 5 cm) right atrial tumor.
  • Comprehensive staging revealed no distant metastases.
  • Pathological examination confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Findings:

  • Chemotherapy regimens (COP and CHOPBE) led to complete resolution of the intracardiac tumor.
  • Despite treatment, the patient survived for 12 months, with radiotherapy for pericardial lesions.

  • The large tumor size and extensive cardiac involvement likely influenced treatment response.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering PCL in the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses.
    • Advanced imaging and biopsy are essential for definitive diagnosis.
    • While chemotherapy can be effective, extensive disease may limit long-term outcomes, underscoring the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment strategies.
