[Primary lymphoma of the heart].
The authors describe the case of a 59-year-old woman, treated for breast cancer by mastectomy and chemotherapy 13 years before her death. Eleven years later she was treated successfully by gastric resection and chemotherapy for gastric cancer. In the last five months, the patient presented dyspnoea, leucopenia, hydropericardium and thoracic fluid both sides. In vivo the origin of these symptoms has not been discovered, neither by cytology nor by pleural biopsy.
