Abstract
Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare cardiac malignancy. Surgical resection is rarely performed on this disease entity. We report a case of primary cardiac lymphoma with rapid progression. Debulking surgery was done extensively before final pathology was obtained. Complete remission was exhibited after several courses of chemotherapy.
