Abstract
A 64-year-old man presented with symptoms indicative of superior vena cava syndrome. Imaging work-up revealed an obstructing right atrial mass, which was subsequently excised and diagnosed as primary cardiac lymphoma. Post-surgery, the patient showed significant clinical improvement and was started on a chemotherapy regimen with complete remission at 1 year.

Abstract
Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare cardiac neoplasm that is typically found in older, immunocompromised patients. In this case, we report an immunocompetent, 46-year-old female that presented with shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Diagnosis of primary cardiac lymphoma was confirmed by way of percutaneous transvenous biopsy under transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac fluoroscopy guidance.

Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are extremely uncommon and primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an even rarer subset. A definite diagnosis can be delayed, which increases the likelihood of a poor prognosis. We report a case involving a 64-year-old male who presented with dyspnea, palpitation, and third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) secondary to primary cardiac B-cell lymphoma that was diagnosed via endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) and multimodality imaging. Chemotherapy was initiated using rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, and prednisone (R-COP) followed by implantation of an artificial capsule pacemaker. Third-degree AVB vanished, and the subsequent cycle of treatment was adjusted as R-CDOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin liposome, vindesine, and prednisone), with aspirin and rosavastatin to prevent ischemic events. So far, the patient had a good clinical course and normal electrocardiogram. This case underscores the importance of EMB in the diagnosis of heart neoplasms. It is worth noting that anthracycline is not contraindicated in PCL.
