The diagnosis of a giant cardiac malignant lymphoma in the right ventricle: a case report

Abstract Cardiac lymphoma is extremely rare in patients with normal immune function and difficult to identify through routine examinations in patients with atypical clinical manifestations, making early diagnosis very difficult. We reported a 71‐year‐old male patient who was repeatedly diagnosed of...
