Özet
© 2018 The Society of Thoracic SurgeonsThe incidence rate of primary cardiac tumors is 13.8 per 1 million inhabitants per year, and 2.4% of them consist of primary cardiac lymphoma. Primary cardiac lymphoma is a fatal malignancy. Echocardiography and whole-body computed tomography are useful tools for diagnosis. Although chemotherapy has been previously described as the standard treatment for primary cardiac lymphoma, surgical treatment can be used for clinically unstable patients. Herein we report the first surgically treated case of a 57-year-old man with biatrial involvement of primary cardiac B-cell lymphoma.
