title: Malignant lymphoma involving the heart.
abstract: In a group of 116 patients with different types of malignant lymphoma, the frequency, type and clinical manifestations of heart involvement are evaluated. A case of primary cardiac lymphoma is demonstrated. Along with this, clinical and pathological findings in 15 further subjects with secondary lymphomatous infiltration of the heart are discussed; attention is being paid also to indirect factors causing cardiovascular damage, including radio- and chemotherapy.
