ABSTRACT
Primary cardiac lymphoma is an uncommon malignancy, accounting for 1.3% of primary cardiac tumors and 0.5% of extranodal lymphomas. However, secondary involvement of the heart is seen in 8.7-27.2% of the documented clinical cases of lymphoma. A 66-year-old man was referred to us for evaluation of dyspnea. A tumor mass was detected by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram in the right atrium. The tumor was surgically resected. The pathologic diagnosis was a malignant lymphoma(diffuse large B cell type) had associated with intracavitary involvement of the right atrium. But acute mediastinitis was developed and then the patient was expired due to sepsis and bleeding at postoperative 9 days.
