Jaundice and intracardiac tumour

Acta Cardiol. 1990;45(6):547-53.

Abstract

We report the case of a type B lymphoma originating from the mediastinum, characterized principally by massive metastatic invasion of the right cardiac cavities in the form of a projecting mass well visualized at echography responsible of the presenting features of the illness. This lymphoma was, moreover, associated with an auto-immune haemolytic anaemia due to cold agglutinins.
