title: [Malignant cardiac lymphoma].
abstract: A 65-year-old male was admitted to the hospital in shock. The transesophageal echocardiography showed cardiac tumor in the right atrium. The tumor was resected under cardiopulmonary bypass. It was diagnosed as malignant lymphoma of B-cell type by histological examination. After operation, his general condition became satisfactory. Then he received chemotherapy. Twenty days after operation, however, a mass appeared in the right side of chin. It was diagnosed as malignant lymphoma of the same cell type as in the heart. We searched his body with CT and Ga-scanning. No other lesions were found. After the chemotherapy (CHOP, 6 cycles), the mass disappeared. No recurrence was been observed for six months.
