| Abstract: | ![]()
A case of malignant lymphoma primarily involving the heart is reported for the first time in which the tumor per se and its accompanying hemodynamic abnormalities were demonstrated by radionuclide angiography (RNA). The patient had severe and progressive failure of the right side of the heart of obscure origin. The tumor was pathologically proven to have involvement of the pericardium, right atrium, and right ventricle, causing significant tricuspid and pulmonic obstruction. |
