Primary pericardial lymphoma is rare in immunocompetent patients. Its symptoms are non-specific and may lead to a delayed diagnosis.

Early detection and characterisation by computed tomography and positron-emission tomography–computed tomography, and prompt intervention can result in a favourable prognosis. We report a case of primary pericardial lymphoma in an immunocompetent man who underwent chemotherapy and achieved complete resolution. Clinical, radiological, and pathological manifestations, and differential diagnoses are described.

原發性心包淋巴瘤在具有正常免疫能力的人中很少見。其症狀非特異性,故可能導致延遲診斷。通 過CT和PET/CT及早檢測和確定其表徵,以及及時的干預可達致較好的預後。本文報告一名免疫功能 正常男子患有原發性心包淋巴瘤,並在接受化療後完全緩解。本文描述其臨床、放射學和病理學表 現和鑑別診斷。
