Abstract: | Two cases of reticulum cell sarcoma involving the heart and stomach are reported. Both cases were explored surgically and inoperable disease was found. They were treated with palliative supervoltage roentgen therapy with only temporary improvement. At autopsy, widespread disease was found, with metastasis to the heart. The cardiac involvement was diagnosed during life, in one case, on the basis of physical, electrocardiographic, and radiographic evidence. |
