Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare cancer affecting the heart. Despite treatment, outcomes for these rare cardiac tumors remain poor, highlighting a critical need for improved therapeutic strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary cardiac lymphoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
  • This study details the clinicopathological characteristics of two patients diagnosed with primary cardiac lymphoma.

Observation:

  • One patient presented with right atrial lymphoma leading to severe heart failure; diagnosis required surgical biopsy.
  • The second patient had pericardial lymphoma with significant effusion, diagnosed via CT, echocardiography, and cytology.
  • Both patients received combination chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide, Oncovin, Procarbazine, Prednisone - COPP).

Findings:

  • The first patient succumbed to heart failure during initial chemotherapy.
  • The second patient showed a partial response but ultimately died from progressive disease eight weeks later.

  • A literature review of 21 cases reinforces the generally poor prognosis associated with primary cardiac tumors.

    • Implications:

    • This case series underscores the aggressive nature and poor prognosis of primary cardiac lymphoma.
    • Diagnostic modalities like imaging and cytology are crucial for timely identification.
    • Further research into novel therapeutic approaches is warranted for this rare and often fatal condition.
