Abstract

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a rare subtype of\ lymphoma with an unfavorable prognosis.Isolated central nervous system (CNS) relapse in PCL\ has been reported in only 1 case until now.Because of the poor prognosis and paucity of PCL cases, the propensity to involve the CNS has the potential to be underestimated.Considering the metastatic potential caused by the location of PCL, CNS evaluation should be considered.
