摘要
Secondary involvement of the heart and pericardium by systemic lymphoma is well documented. Primary Cardiac lymphomas (PCL) are extremely rare. Incidence of PCL is increasing in immunocompromised patients. However PCL in immunocompetent is much rarer. We report such a case of PCL in an immunocompetent elderly female masquerading as right atrial myxoma causing complete heart block which was surgically debulked successfully. Her rhythm resumed to Sinus rhythm following surgical debulking. Immunohistochemistry of the excised tumour revealed Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma. With combination chemotherapy, she is symptom free on six months follow up. © 2010 Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons.
