Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare extra-nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Early recognition and treatment are crucial due to high mortality.
- Tissue pathology is the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...
