The Long Journey of Cardiac Lymphoma Follow-up (Letter)

Abstract

We are very thankful to Kim et al for their work. For the patient, the journey to survival was a long one. As the authors say—and is also our experience—it is a rare condition. It can certainly have a wide variety of confounding presentations such as chest pain and atrioventricular block. We have invariably found it devastating for the patients and a huge challenge for, firstly, establishing the diagnosis and, secondly, ensuring appropriate follow-up. For establishing diagnosis, a multimodality approach—as undertaken in this case—is invariably helpful.
