BackgroundPrimary cardiac lymphomas（PCL）是一种非常罕见的心脏肿瘤，除非及时诊断和治疗，否则预后不良。多模态成像显示一个大的心内肿瘤，经活检证实为PCL。患者接受有针对性的化疗，导致他的疾病完全缓解，在15个月的随访period.ConclusionsAlthough PCLs是罕见的，他们应该始终牢记在心脏肿瘤的鉴别诊断。PCLs的及时诊断和适当的化疗，单独或联合放疗，似乎提供了最好的结果。
BackgroundPrimary cardiac lymphomas (PCL) represent extremely rare cardiac tumors which are accompanied by poor prognosis, unless they are timely diagnosed and treated.Case presentationHerein 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.ConclusionsAlthough 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.
