Abstract
A 70-year-old woman was referred to us for the investigation of a tumo r mass in the right sided of the heart. LDH and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL2r) were elevated. She died one day after the initiation of radiation therapy because of intractable cardiogenic shock. Primary cardiac lymphoma was identified at autopsy. Measurement of serum sIL2 r lead us to the antemortem diagnosis of the disease. (C) 1998 Elsevie r Science Ireland Ltd.
