We report a case of malignant lymphoma whose initial symptoms were heart failure. An echocardiogram showed a large tumor in the right ventricle, and a definitive diagnosis was obtained at autopsy. Of particular interest in our case, the lymphoma was confined to the heart and a mediastinal lymph node, with its greatest bulk being intracardiac. This case is a rare manifestation of malignant lymphoma.
我们报告一例以心力衰竭为首发症状的恶性淋巴瘤病例。超声心动图显示右心室有一个大肿瘤,尸检时获得了明确诊断。在我们的病例中特别值得关注的是,淋巴瘤局限于心脏和一个纵隔淋巴结,最大体积位于心脏内。该病例是恶性淋巴瘤的一种罕见表现。
