- Abstract
Primary cardiac T cell lymphoma is an extremely rare condition with only a handful of biopsy-proven cases worldwide. We present a 62-year-old female presenting with nonspecific chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and anterolateral ST-elevation on electrocardiogram mimicking a ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Imaging revealed a cardiac mass and cardiac catheterization showed diffuse noncritical coronary disease with an occluded 2nd diagonal branch. Biopsy via minimally invasive cardiac surgery showed a pathologically proven diagnosis of primary cardiac T cell lymphoma. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case worldwide of primary cardiac T cell lymphoma that has resulted in ST-elevation mimicking a myocardial infarction.
