Abstract

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is extremely rare. A few reviews comprise the available evidence. We present the case of a 70-year-old man who was immunosuppressed as a result of a previous liver transplant and who presented with PCL. This case highlights the cardiovascular issues that clinicians may face in PCL management and the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach.

Keywords: cardiac lymphoma; immunosuppression; multidisciplinary team.
