Cardiac involvement in malignant lymphoma is one of the least investigated subjects in oncology. This article reports a case of cardiac involvement in Hodgkin's lymphoma which presented as heart failure.
We report the case of an 8-year-old Afghan girl with Hodgkin's lymphoma. The disease presented with systemic signs and symptoms, including abdominal distension, weakness, pallor, chills, fever, generalized edema, hepatosplenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy, as well as signs of heart failure. Test results showed a rare form of heart metastasis.
We report a case of Hodgkin's lymphoma with metastasis to the heart, detected premortem. Although the involvement of the heart in a malignancy is relatively common, premortem detection is unusual and only few studies have reported it in the literature.
心脏受累于恶性淋巴瘤是肿瘤学中研究最少的课题之一。本文报告一例以心力衰竭为表现的霍奇金淋巴瘤心脏受累病例。
我们报告一名8岁阿富汗霍奇金淋巴瘤女童病例。该疾病表现为全身症状和体征，包括腹胀、虚弱、苍白、寒战、发热、全身水肿、肝脾肿大和全身淋巴结病，以及心力衰竭体征。检查结果显示为一种罕见的心脏转移形式。
我们报告一例生前检测到的霍奇金淋巴瘤心脏转移病例。尽管恶性肿瘤累及心脏相对常见，但生前检测并不常见，文献中仅有少数研究报道过。
