Case Reports[AIDS and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: initial cardiac manifestations of highly malignant B-cell lymphoma 18 years after HIV infection].
A 35-year-old man who, as a result of intravenous drug abuse, had become infected with HIV 18 years previously, was admitted with signs of right-heart failure. Three months earlier a systolic murmur had first been heard in the 5th intercostal space parasternally. ⋯ The differential diagnosis of a right atrial tumour can be difficult in patients with HIV or AIDS. Even if the site is atypical and there is no lymphadenopathy, a lymphoma should be considered. In case of doubt a histological diagnosis via an exploratory thoracotomy should be performed.
