A Butterfly-Shaped Primary Cardiac Lymphoma That Showed Bi-Atrial Involvement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We described here a patient who presented with symptoms of heart failure who was found to have severe bilateral impairment of atrioventricular inflow. Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) with extensive involvement of the two atria, pericardium and myocardium is an extremely rare tumor in immunocompetent patients. We report here a case of PCL in an immunocompetent patient with involvement of both atria and the atrial septum. The tumor had a butterfly shape. We could not do surgical excision because of the massive pericardiac invasion. The diagnosis was B-cell lymphoma and this was confirmed by the pericardiac biopsy.

Experimental Investigation on Cyclic Behavior of Butterfly-shaped Links Steel Plate Shear Walls
An innovative type called "butterfly-shaped links steel plate shear wall (BLSPSW)" was proposed as a lateral load resisting system. In this novel system, by creating butterfly-shaped links in the four sides of the web plate, the lateral load resisting mechanism is not the development of a diagonal tension field on the web plate (similar to Conventional SPSWs), but the capacity of the system is ...
متن کاملPrimary cardiac lymphoma presenting clinically as restrictive cardiomyopathy.
An unusual case of primary cardiac lymphoma presenting as restrictive cardiomyopathy with arrhythmia is reported in a 72-year-old woman who was admitted for evaluation of exertional dyspnea and palpitations. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed atrioventricular dissociation and right heart cardiac catheterization revealed a typical 'dip-and-plateau' waveform. Restrictive cardiomyopathy was suspecte...

A left atrial mass associated with coronary artery disease is often diagnosed as a mural thrombus rather than other possible etiologies such as benign primary cardiac tumor (myxoma, lipoma), a malignant primary cardiac tumor (sarcoma, lymphoma), or secondary involvement for extracardiac tumors. Malignant lymphoma initially presenting as intracardiac masses is very rare. Chest computed tomograph...

متن کاملPrimary testicular lymphoma with cardiac involvement in an immunocompetent patient: case report and a concise review of literature
Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a rare testicular tumor representing less than 9% of all testicular cancers. PTL usually tends to spread to or relapse at nodal structures or extra-nodal sites such as contralateral testes, central nervous system, skin, lung, pleura, waldeyer's ring and soft tissues. We present a case of PTL with huge left atrial mass, an extremely unusual site of involvemen...
