title: A case of malignant lymphoma with diastolic heart failure.
abstract: In patients with malignant lymphoma, the first signs and symptoms are frequently noncardiac and clinical manifestations of cardiac involvement are often nonspecific. This case report presents a patient with malignant lymphoma whose first manifestation was characteristic of heart failure, mainly due to diastolic dysfunction, and whose postmortem examination revealed massive myocardial invasion.
