Current literature suggests that the incidence of cardiac involvement by lymphoma as identified by autopsy varies widely, ranging from 8.7% to 20%. Historically, many cases might have been clinically undetected; however, improved imaging techniques increasingly identify cardiac involvement incidentally. In addition, newer agents resulting in improved cancer therapy outcomes might alter the prevalence and location of metastatic deposits to include more unusual disease sites, including intracardiac locations. We present 2 cases and a review of the literature.

Introduction:Multiple cardiac metastases from nonsmall-cell lung cancer are extremely rare. Multiple cardiac metastases detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) have not been previously reported.Patient concerns:A 53-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with left back pain for 1 month.Diagnoses:A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan showed a moderately enhancing mass with a necrotic area in the upper left lobe of the lung and a filling defect in the interventricular septum. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography identified a mass attaching to the endocardial surface of interventricular septum. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed multiple intense 18F-FDG uptakes in the cardiac region. Nonsmall-cell lung cancer was confirmed by histopathologic examination of the mass in the upper left lobe of the lung.Intervention:The patient was treated with Gemcitabine chemotherapy.Outcomes:After 18 months of follow-up, the patient achieved stable disease status according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors guidelines.Lessons:Our case demonstrates that 18F-FDG PET/CT is a sensitive and feasible imaging modality to diagnosis multiple cardiac metastases.

Introduction:Cardiac involvement as an initial presentation of malignant lymphoma has been a rare occurrence.Case Presentation:We have reported a 78 year old man with complaint of abdominal pain and vomiting. In patients preoperative evaluation for surgical management of an intra-abdominal mass, a large intracardiac mass has found incidentally during the echocardiography. Pathologic biopsy of right atrial mass that has removed by open heart surgery shown: non Hodgkin-B cell lymphoma. Bone marrow biopsy was taken and was positive for lymphomatous involvement.Conclusions:The patient has treated by CHOP chemotherapy regiment successfully and after completion of treatment, there was complete response.
