Published in: European heart journal. Case reports (2022)
Primary cardiac lymphoma remains a very rare diagnosis and this case highlights the need for multimodality imaging and imaging-guided biopsy to differentiate cardiac masses. First-line treatment for PCL remains a combination of chemotherapy with immunotherapy, with the addition of low-dose colchicine to prevent recurrence of malignant pericardial effusion.
