Abstract
An increasing number of patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and cardiac lymphoma have been documented. Antemortem diagnosis of cardiac non-Hodgkin lymphoma in AIDS is difficult because of the non-specificity of the clinical findings. Rapid progression of cardiac dysfunction is common after symptoms appear. We report the case of a patient with AIDS and cardiac lymphoma revealed by an atrial flutter.
