Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) respresents a very rare type of cardiac tumour. This report illustrates a case of PCL in an immunocompetent 58-year-old man presenting with atrial fibrillation and febrile syndrome. Comprehensive imaging [computer tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE)] identified a large right atrial tumour, leading to pericardial effusion. Isolated cardiac involvement was confirmed by positron emission tomography (PET)-CT. A diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was diagnosed based on the results of a TEE-guided biopsy. A normalized PET scan (PETAL study) indicated complete remission following R-CHOP 14 immunochemotherapy. Thus, an interdisciplinary and multimodal approach avoided unnecessary cardiac surgery.
原发性心脏淋巴瘤(PCL)是一种非常罕见的心脏肿瘤类型。本报告阐述了一例发生在免疫功能正常的58岁男性身上的PCL病例,该患者表现为心房颤动和发热综合征。综合影像学检查[计算机断层扫描(CT)、心脏磁共振成像(cMRI)、三维经食管超声心动图(3D-TEE)]发现一个巨大的右心房肿瘤,导致心包积液。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)-CT证实为孤立性心脏受累。根据经食管超声心动图(TEE)引导下活检的结果,诊断为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)。一次标准化的PET扫描(PETAL研究)显示在接受R-CHOP 14免疫化疗后完全缓解。因此,多学科和多模式方法避免了不必要的心脏手术。
