dc.description.abstractIntroduction Cardiac involvement in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a rare entity in non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Symptoms are usually related to heart failure. Patients who are severely symptomatic due to cardiac mass could be considered treatment as soon as possible. In this report, we present a patient diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with cardiac involvement. Case Report A 61-year-old female patient was admitted to our unit with gastric biopsy diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Computerized tomography of the chest and positron emission tomography/computed tomography demonstrated a neoplastic mass in the intra-atrial septum extended to inferior vena cava (5 x 4 cm in size and standardized uptake value maximum 24.6). She was in stage III and in the high-risk group. Because of pronounced heart failure findings associated with the mass-specific chemotherapy was planned early. Management & Outcome Although a fraction of ejection was 60% by echocardiography before the treatment, she had a cardiac risk for doxorubicin due to being over 60 years old and hypertension. Complete remission was achieved after three cycles of rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-vincristine and methylprednisolone protocol including doxorubicin. Treatment was completed with six cycles and she was followed up for three months. Discussion Because of the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin-based protocols, patients should be evaluated according to cardiac functions before and during the chemotherapy.en_US
