Additionally, atypical clinical presentation makes the diagnosis even more challenging. The most common type of cardiac lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. With chemotherapy, the median survival rate can be up to 2 years. In this report, we focus on the diagnostic approach and differential diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 56-year-old patient presented with complete heart block and B-symptoms. Implantation of a pacemaker (PM) was initially deferred due to a junctional rhythm (50\u2005b.p.m.). Echocardiography showed thickening of the left heart with small pericardial effusion. For better visualization of the extent and infiltration cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computer tomography (CT) were performed. In addition to the cardiac mass, enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes were found on staging CT scan, prompting a transbronchial biopsy. Histology revealed diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient was referred to a hospital with a Hemato-oncology Department for initiation of chemotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Cardiac lymphoma can be a rare cause of complete heart block. Prior to PM implantation, basic echocardiography is important. In rare conditions like cardiac lymphoma, multimodal imaging, and interdisciplinary decision-making are crucial for management. In the future, lead-less pacemakers could be a safe and effective option for oncology patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytae663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,13]],"date-time":"2024-12-13T12:39:29Z","timestamp":1734093569000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A rare cardiac presentation of a lymphoma: case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-7035-1102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilona","family":"Grohs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Klinik Oberwart , Dornburggasse 90, Oberwart 7400 ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katharina","family":"Riedl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Klinik Floridsdorf , Br\u00fcnnerstra\u00dfe 68, Vienna 1210 ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christa","family":"Kliment","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Klinik Floridsdorf , Br\u00fcnnerstra\u00dfe 68, Vienna 1210 ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Delle-Karth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Klinik Floridsdorf , Br\u00fcnnerstra\u00dfe 68, Vienna 1210 ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025012113111371700_ytae663-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"599","DOI":"10.1177\/000331970305400510","article-title":"Clinical perspectives of primary cardiac lymphoma","volume":"54","author":"Gowda","year":"2003","journal-title":"Angiology"},{"key":"2025012113111371700_ytae663-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.55418\/9781933477336-17","volume-title":"Tumors of the Heart and Great Vessels","author":"Burke","year":"2015"},{"key":"2025012113111371700_ytae663-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1007\/s10330-012-1095-5","article-title":"Primary cardiac lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"12","author":"Zhong","year":"2013","journal-title":"Chin-Ger J Clin Oncol"},{"key":"2025012113111371700_ytae663-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1421","DOI":"10.1148\/radiographics.19.6.g99no031421","article-title":"CT and MR imaging of primary cardiac malignancies","volume":"19","author":"Araoz","year":"1999","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"2025012113111371700_ytae663-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijcard.2006.11.159","article-title":"A rare cause of constrictive pericarditis: primary cardiac lymphoma","volume":"123","author":"Ho","year":"2008","journal-title":"Int J Cardiol"},{"key":"2025012113111371700_ytae663-B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1240","DOI":"10.1097\/JTO.0000000000000663","article-title":"Introduction to the 2015 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the lung, pleura, thymus and heart","volume":"10","author":"Travis","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Thorac Oncol"},{"key":"2025012113111371700_ytae663-B7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"510","DOI":"10.1002\/hon.2301","article-title":"Primary cardiac lymphoma;
