Abstract Funding Acknowledgements We declare no conflict of interest and no financial support A rare form of cardiac mass primary cardiac lymphoma Introduction Primary tumors of the heart are rare and constitute 5% of all cardiac masses. Primary cardiac lymphoma is a curable form of cancer that responds well to early diagnosis and chemotherapy. Case report 56 year old male patient presented to our outpatient clinic with abdominal swelling. Echocardiography revealed a mass lesion that surrounded the right ventricle and restricted ventricular diastolic function. The mass lesion was poorly discernable from normal myocardial tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an infiltrative mass lesion that filled the right pericardial space, and that surrounded the junction between vena cava superior and the right atrium, as well as the root of the aorta. Subxyphoidal biopsy revealed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Patient died on the 10th day of chemotherapy. Discussion Primary cardiac lymphoma constitutes only 2% of all primary cardiac tumors. Cardiac lymphomas are curable in early stages with chemotherapy without the need for surgical excision. Cardiac lymphoma should be kept in mind when faced with a cardiac mass lesion and imaging modalities such as MRI and PET scanning and tissue biopsy should be utilized before planning surgical interventions since these lesions respond well to chemotherapy Abstract P650 Figure.
