Case Report (n=1)
Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare but treatable cause of complete heart block in adults, highlighting the importance of multimodality imaging and tissue biopsy in atypical presentations.
Amin et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac lymphoma (n=1). Chemoimmunotherapy was evaluated on Tumor regression and remission. Chemoimmunotherapy was effective in inducing tumor regression in a 54-year-old man with primary cardiac lymphoma presenting with complete heart block, with remission maintained at 6 months.
