Abstract
In patients with malignant lymphoma, the first signs and symptoms are frequently noncardiac and clinical manifestations of cardiac involveme nt are often nonspecific. This case report presents a patient with mal ignant lymphoma whose first manifestation was characteristic of heart failure, mainly due to diastolic dysfunction, and whose postmortem exa mination revealed massive myocardial invasion.
