Primary Cardiac Lymphoma in an Immunocompetent 71-Year-Old Man.

2015 
Isolated cardiac lymphomas are very rare, especially in immunocompetent patients. As a consequence, little is known about the best therapeutic management and about patients' outcomes in these cases. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most frequent subtype; anthracycline-based chemotherapy has been the most successful treatment. We describe the case of a primary cardiac lymphoma in an immunocompetent 71-year-old man. As of December 2015, the patient had been in clinical remission for 2 years. The most relevant literature on primary cardiac lymphoma is reported and discussed.
