Although the involvement of the heart by malignancy is relatively common, it is unusual for it to be
detected premortem. In addition, there is a dearth of data on this subject in the literature. We report
a case of Hodgkinיs lymphoma presenting with systemic signs and symptoms including abdominal
distension, weakness, pallor, chills and fever, generalized edema, hepatosplenomegaly, and
generalized lymphadenopathy, as well as signs of heart failure. Echocardiography revealed
pericardial effusion, left ventricular hypertrophy, and lucent myocardial lesions. Right cervical
lymph node biopsy established the diagnosis of nodular sclerosing type Hodgkinיs lymphoma with
the involvement of the bone marrow at biopsy. After 14 sessions of chemotherapy, systemic and
cardiac abnormalities improved. We believe this is the first case of Hodgkinיs lymphoma with
cardiac metastasis and heart failure
