Lymphosarcoma of the right atrium. Angiographic and hemodynamic documentation of response to chemotherapy.
A patient had metastatic lymphosarcoma involving the right atrium and tricuspid valve in which functional tricuspid valve obstruction was relieved by chemotherapy. Patients with disseminated or mediastinal lymphoma in whom cardiopulmonary symptoms occur should be considered for catheterization of the right side of the heart and angiography. These procedures may be useful for determining the presence, location, and nature of cardiac disease and may aid in deciding the proper course of therapy.
