    <p>A 74-year-old woman with a history of membranous glomerulonephritis and a recent diagnosis of mediastinal adenopathy was admitted to the emergency department with acute heart failure. She complained of progressive dyspnea and weakness in the last week. Physical examination revealed hypotension, tachypnea, jugular vein distention, and desaturation. The most relevant laboratory findings were: anemia, lymphocytopenia, lactic acidosis, and increased lactate dehydrogenase. An electrocardiogram showed rapid atrial fibrillation and low-voltage QRS complexes. An echocardiogram revealed severe pericardial effusion and diffuse heterogeneous thickening of the ventricular and atrial walls. The patient required mechanical ventilation and inotropic support. Therapeutic pericardiocentesis was performed without clinical improvement. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) showed septal bounce (compatible with restrictive physiology) and a heterogeneous isointense mass surrounding the ventricular and atrial walls with late gadolinium enhancement of the myocardium and hypoenhancement of the tumor (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Figure 1</xref>), compatible with primary cardiac lymphoma. A diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma was confirmed by flow cytometry of the pericardial fluid. The patient died before starting chemotherapic treatment.</p>

    <p>Secondary involvement of the myocardium in patients with systemic lymphoma is relatively frequent (around 30% in disseminated non-Hodgkin lymphoma) whereas primary cardiac lymphoma is rare (1-2%). We present a case of acute heart failure with restrictive physiology secondary to cardiac lymphoma. In our experience, CMR was key to the final diagnosis.</p>

      <p>Uma mulher de 74 anos com hist&#243;ria de glomerulonefrite membranosa e diagn&#243;stico recente de adenopatia mediastinal foi admitida no departamento de emerg&#234;ncia com insufici&#234;ncia card&#237;aca aguda. Ela se queixou de dispneia progressiva e fraqueza na &#250;ltima semana. O exame f&#237;sico revelou hipotens&#227;o arterial, taquipneia, distens&#227;o da veia jugular e dessatura&#231;&#227;o. Os achados laboratoriais mais relevantes foram: anemia, linfocitopenia, acidose l&#225;ctica e aumento da lactato desidrogenase. Um eletrocardiograma mostrou fibrila&#231;&#227;o atrial r&#225;pida e complexos QRS de baixa voltagem. Um ecocardiograma revelou derrame peric&#225;rdico grave e espessamento difuso e heterog&#234;neo das paredes ventriculares e atriais. A paciente necessitou de ventila&#231;&#227;o mec&#226;nica e suporte inotr&#243;pico. Foi realizada pericardiocentese terap&#234;utica sem melhora cl&#237;nica. A resson&#226;ncia magn&#233;tica cardiovascular (RMC) mostrou movimento septal anormal (compat&#237;vel com fisiologia restritiva) e uma massa heterog&#234;nea e isointensa ao redor das paredes ventriculares e atriais com realce mioc&#225;rdico tardio pelo gadol&#237;nio e realce discreto do tumor (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figura 1</xref>), compat&#237;vel com linfoma card&#237;aco prim&#225;rio. O diagn&#243;stico de linfoma de grandes c&#233;lulas B foi confirmado por citometria de fluxo do l&#237;quido peric&#225;rdico. A paciente foi a &#243;bito antes de iniciar tratamento quimioter&#225;pico.</p>
