Two- and Three-Dimensional Echocardiography for Primary Cardiac Lymphomas: A Case Report and Literature Review

doi:10.37015/AUDT.2020.190043

Abstract

Abstract:

Cardiac lymphomas have an extremely low incidence, with primary cardiac lymphomas accounting for only 0.5% of all extranodal lymphomas and 2% of primary cardiac tumors. Early diagnosis is critical for these tumors, which can proliferate rapidly. Here, we report a rare case of a 66-year-old man with primary cardiac lymphomas in the right atrium and right ventricle. This case establishes that two- and three-dimensional echocardiography is instructive in establishing the relationship of the mass and surrounding tissues and providing relevant hemodynamic information.

Key words: Primary cardiac lymphoma; Echocardiography; Heart neoplasms
