  • Abstract
    We present an extremely rare case of an immunocompromised patient with a T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia relapse presenting as a right atrial tumor. Problems in diagnosis, vulnerability due to previous immunosuppression and bone marrow transplant, and successful surgical excision are highlighted. Cardiac involvement with hematologic neoplasms should be taken with more than academic interest, as it may be amenable to treatment.
