Abstract

Cardiac double-hit and triple-hit lymphomas (DHLs, THLs) are rare; in fact, studies examining both DHL and THL remain scarce. THL with cardiac involvement constitutes a rare disease with few cases reported so far. Thus, in this study, we report the case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with initial symptoms of pulmonary embolism. Upon further evaluation, a right atrial mass was detected incidentally, and this was surgically removed under the assumption of a cardiac myxoma. Later, immunohistochemistry analysis of the mass revealed a THL. Aggressive treatment with chemotherapy was necessary; however, the patient refused treatment and had a poor prognosis.
