Abstract
Anterior mediastinal tumours have been reported that initially present ed with signs suggestive of cardiac disease. The widespread availabili ty of two-dimensional echocardiography has demonstrated that, in the m ajority of cases, right ventricular compression is the major cardiac c omplication of such masses. We report two cases of mediastinal lymphom a that presented with chest pain and signs of right ventricular outflo w obstruction.
