  • Title: [Primary cardiac lymphoma].
    Author: Kragelund CB, Søndergaard L, Bjerrum OW.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2001 Feb 26; 163(9):1289-91. PubMed ID: 11258255.
    Abstract:
    Primary cardiac non-Hodgkin lymphoma is very rare. Results recently published suggest that the prognosis is good, if the lymphoma is diagnosed early. The symptoms are nevertheless unspecific and a clinical investigation is often inconclusive. We report a case of a woman with symptoms of severe dyspnoea at rest, chest pain, and fatigue. The ECG showed a complete atrioventricular block. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a tumour in the right atrium and ventricle. A myocardial biopsy showed malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the diffuse, large cell B-type. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and control MRI after four treatments showed complete regression of the tumour.
