Abstract

Primary cardiac lymphomas are rare, high-mortality malignancies requiring a rapid, multidisciplinary response for effective management. We present the case of a 56-year-old immunocompetent male with a three-day history of intermittent chest pain, abdominal pain, visual disturbances, and headaches, leading to the identification of a right-sided cardiac mass. The patient underwent urgent surgical exploration and excision of the mass for symptomatic relief and was subsequently referred for adjuvant chemotherapy.
