“…Necrosis and hemorrhage are rare in lymphoma. Cardiac lymphoma is highly metabolic and presents as clear F18-FDG uptake, so PET imaging is a valuable method for the initial diagnosis of cardiac lymphoma and has been proven to improve the detection rate of the lesion (44). Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the main treatments.…”

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) offers superior advantages in cardiac imaging due to supplying a greater field of view, excellent soft-tissue imaging, and multiplanar imaging capabilities. CMR imaging can evaluate the characteristics of cardiac tumors by visualizing the relationship between the tumor and surrounding tissues, and plays a vital role in assisting the formulation of the surgical plan, the assessment of tumor progression, and the monitoring of postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis. In this review, we present the clinical manifestations and imaging features of different cardiac tumors. The superior performance of CMR in preoperative diagnosis, surgical treatment, and postoperative follow-up of patients with heart tumors are also highlighted.

Linfoma pericárdico primario a células T/NK. Reporte de un caso Resumen Los linfomas cardíacos primarios son un subtipo muy poco frecuente de tumor en los cuales la lesión primaria se encuentra en el corazón. Los tumores suelen ser infiltrantes y se localizan en la aurícula derecha, seguidos del pericardio. Su mortalidad es notablemente alta y el diagnóstico tardío es el principal factor para su mal pronóstico. Describimos el caso de un paciente que presentó shock obstructivo por derrame pericárdico profuso causado por un tipo raro de tumor cardíaco primario, un linfoma pericárdico de células T/NK.

“…The rarest presentation of all (approximately in 5%) is with symptoms and signs of superior vena cava syndrome [6], as in the case of our patient. Multi-modality imaging, including chest radiograph, echocardiography, CT, MRI and FDG PET/CT may be used for initial diagnosis and staging [10, 11]. However, limitations in imaging still exist [12], rendering endomyocardial biopsy a necessity for diagnosis.…”

Background Primary cardiac lymphomas (PCL) represent extremely rare cardiac tumors which are accompanied by poor prognosis, unless they are timely diagnosed and treated. Case presentation Herein we present a 28-year-old, immunocompetent man who presented to our hospital due to progressively worsening symptoms and signs of superior vena cava syndrome. Multi-modality imaging demonstrated a large intracardiac tumor, which was proven, by biopsy, to be a PCL. The patient received targeted chemotherapy which led to total remission of his disease, with no relapse over a 15-month follow-up period. Conclusions Although PCLs are rare, they should always be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors. Timely diagnosis of PCLs and appropriate chemotherapy, alone or in combination with radiotherapy, seems to provide the best results.
