Clin Lymphoma Myeloma. 2006 Mar;6(5):420-1. doi: 10.3816/CLM.2006.n.023.

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.
