May support urgent surgery for tamponade in cardiac lymphoma; hypothesis-generating from single case.
Case Report (n=1)
While chemotherapy remains the standard treatment for primary cardiac lymphoma, urgent surgery is indicated for relieving life-threatening complications such as cardiac tamponade.
Gošev et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac lymphoma with tamponade physiology (n=1). Urgent surgical intervention was evaluated. Urgent surgical intervention relieved impending cardiac tamponade and inferior vena cava obstruction, allowing for the pathohistological diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
