Summary: | Given the proximity of the tumor to the AV node, pacemaker leads were left in place during initial surgical excision, which facilitated generator placement when the patient went into complete heart block. Conclusion Primary cardiac lymphomas appear to be aggressive tumors infiltrating the conduction system and have a typical presentation of conduction abnormalities. [...]pacemaker placement should always be considered in appropriate patients with intra-operative or imaging evidence of involvement of the conduction system. |
