Abstract
Primary cardiac lymphoma is an extremely rare disease, with the most common being diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Fibrin-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (FA-DLBCL) has been classified as a rare and unusual type of lymphoma and is included in the category of DLBCL associated with chronic inflammation (DLBCL-CI). In this study, we report a case of FA-DLBCL in the aortic valve and ascending aorta of a 51-year-old-woman.
Learning objective
In this rare case of FA-DLBCL in the aortic valve and ascending aorta, we highlight the features of FA-DLBCL and its differences from DLBCL-CI.
