Abstract
AIDS has resulted in a significant increase in the incidence of both primary and secondary cardiac lymphomas. Prognosis of HIV associate cardiac non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is poor with very limited survival. Many cases of cardiac involvement in lymphoma remain undetected secondary to non-specific symptoms. Chemotherapy may produce remission in some cases. We report two cases of cardiac involvement with B-cell lymphoma. The first patient had a history of AIDS while the second had no evidence of HIV infection.Entities:
