Abstract:
Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an uncommon extranodal lymphoma confined to the heart or pericardium at diagnosis and can mimic other cardiac disorders because of its nonspecific presentation. We report a 53-year-old man diagnosed in 2015 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involving the right atrium. He underwent surgical excision followed by six cycles of R-CHOP chemoimmunotherapy. Serial PET/CT and echocardiography confirmed sustained complete metabolic remission, and he remains disease-free 128 months after treatment. This case highlights the potential for prolonged survival in PCL when timely diagnosis, accurate histopathological confirmation, and appropriate therapy are provided.
