title: Six-year survival after excision of cardiac malignant lymphoma.
abstract: We report a patient with a postoperative survival period of 6 years after the surgical excision of a cardiac malignant lymphoma. A 35-year-old woman underwent total excision of the tumor arising from the left ventricular outflow tract. After the operation, she was treated with chemotherapy for 6 months. She has been doing well thereafter without any medication. To date there is no evidence of recurrence.
