Abstract
Cardiac non-Hodgkin lymphoma (CNHL) is a rare extranodal lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Secondary cardiac lymphoma is more frequent than primary cardiac lymphoma. CNHL often involves the right side of the heart. Diagnosis of CNHL can be suggested by echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. Cytological examination of pericardial fluid or histological of cardiac tissue is essential. The majority of cases are diffuse B-cell lymphoma. A prompt immediate diagnosis and early treatment are essential for better outcome. Management should be individualized and the most effective treatment is chemotherapy containing anthracycline variably combined with radiotherapy. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to the successful treatment of CNHL.
