Abstract
- Primary malignant cardiac tumors, particularly lymphoma, are rare entities. Cardiac involvement or metastization of the heart from neoplasia located elsewhere are more frequently found. We present the case of a 79-year-old patient admitted with heart failure symptoms with a 3-week evolution. Evaluation led to the identification of a cardiac tumor with unusual clinical presentation and with a rapid and fatal evolution. Pathologic analysis identified a B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
