Cardiac metastasis may be incidentally detected in DLBCL; this case extends recognition but leaves open prospective management data.
Case Report (n=1)
Extensive cardiac metastasis from DLBCL can be asymptomatic and may be managed with reduced-dose chemotherapy regimens like EPOCH to minimize complications such as cardiac rupture.
Poursadrolah et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Diffuse large B cell lymphoma with cardiac metastasis (n=1). Reduced-dose EPOCH regimen was evaluated. A reduced-dose EPOCH regimen was utilized to treat an 80-year-old man with asymptomatic extensive cardiac metastasis from diffuse large B cell lymphoma, resulting in improved infiltration after five cycles.
