Description
Joel Diaz-Portorreal and colleagues report a 2026 case of a rare lymphoma arising in the heart of a man with a normal immune system. Such cancers of the heart are uncommon and carry a high death rate, so speed matters. Their patient was 56 years old and had three days of chest pain, belly pain, headaches, and visual problems.
Scans found a mass on the right side of the heart. Surgeons operated urgently to explore the heart and remove the mass, which relieved his symptoms and gave tissue for diagnosis. He was then referred for chemotherapy. The authors stress that rapid, team-based care offers the best chance in this aggressive disease.
