Abstract

Primary cardiac non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a rare condition. In the world as well as in Vietnam, there have been no studies on a large number of cardiac NHL patients, most of which are individual case reports or analysis review from these cases. At the Oncology Center of Thai Nguyen National Hospital, so far, no case of primary heart disease has been diagnosed and treated., we would like to provide a case study to report additional information for future confirmation and differential diagnosis to similar cases, as well as information about prognosis and treatment therapy. A 60-year-old male patient was diagnosed with primary cardiac NHL. The patient underwent CT Scanner to detect tumor in the left atrium, histopathology was diffuse large B-cell NHL, non-germinal type, CD 20 (+). The patient was treated with chemotherapy (RCHOP + RCVP regimen) And partial response was achieved; c urrently, at the 33rd month, the patient is in stable condition, without clinical symptoms.
