| Abstract: | ![]()
Rationale:Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare tumor, especially a tumor located in coronary sinus (CS). The most common symptom of cardiac tumors is dyspnea, accounting for 64%, followed by chest pain, accounting for 26%. However, the cases with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) as a major clinical presentation are extremely rare.Patient concerns:We report a 55-year-old female patient with primary CS lymphoma and paroxysmal SVT.Diagnoses:After the surgical resection, pathology revealed the evidence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Interventions:The patient underwent chemotherapy after CS tumor resection.Outcomes:The patient was disease-free during the 6-month follow-up.Lessons:CS enlargement may be the cause of SVT. Echocardiography should focus on the CS section to arrive at the right diagnosis. |
