Lymphoma is one of the most common tumors with the risk of cardiac metastasis. The pattern of cardiac involvement is usually as focal masses. As early diagnosis of lymphoma plays a crucial role in its response to treatment and patient survival longevity, we report a rare case of cardiac lymphoma with diffuse cardiac involvement and acquired pulmonary stenosis. The patient was referred to our center for further evaluation because of dyspnea and systolic ejection murmur. In pericardial biopsy, T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma was reported. After a full course of chemotherapy and one-year follow up, symptoms had improved and echocardiography was normal except for small pericardial effusion. < Early diagnosis of lymphoma plays a crucial role in its response to treatment and introducing atypical presentation form could be helpful for early diagnosis.>.
淋巴瘤是最常见的具有心脏转移风险的肿瘤之一。心脏受累的模式通常为局灶性肿块。由于淋巴瘤的早期诊断对其治疗反应和患者生存寿命起着至关重要的作用,我们报告了一例罕见的弥漫性心脏受累并伴有获得性肺动脉狭窄的心脏淋巴瘤病例。该患者因呼吸困难和收缩期喷射性杂音被转诊至我们中心进行进一步评估。心包活检报告为T细胞淋巴母细胞淋巴瘤。经过一个完整疗程的化疗和一年的随访,症状有所改善,除少量心包积液外,超声心动图检查正常。<淋巴瘤的早期诊断对其治疗反应起着至关重要的作用,介绍非典型表现形式可能有助于早期诊断。>
