| Abstract [eng] |
Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a rare malignant potentially lethal disease, which only involves the heart. PCL is diagnosed only in 1.3 % of heart tumor patients. PCL belongs to the non-Hodgkin extranodal lymphomas group and comprise 0.5 % of them. To date about 200 cases are published and the most comprehensive review, which includes 197 cases, is written by Petrich et al. The most common histological type of PCL is diffuse large B cell lymphoma1–3. In our article entitled “Primary cardiac lymphoma: Two cases and a review of literature”, we have described two patients that were treated at our center4. Both of the patients were diagnosed with PCL. Both cases were confirmed histologically to be diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. |
