Abstract
Primary cardiac tumor are rare with incidence of 0.056% in autopsy reports. Approximately 90% of primary cardiac tumors are benign, the most common is myxoma, other types, including rhabdomyoma, lipoma, papillary fibroelastoma, fibroma, hemangioma, teratoma, sarcoma. The remaining 10% are malignant, out of which 95% are sarcomas and 5% of are lymphomas and mesotheliomas. Here, we reported rare case of primary cardiac lymphoma with a very rare subtype that is high grade Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) in 20 years old female who presented with acute pulmonary edema and underwent emergency surgery for left atrial mass excision.
