We report the case of a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and diffuse large-cell lymphoma involving the right atrium and atrioventricular node who had a complete and lasting response after cytotoxic chemotherapy. This case shows the efficacy of aggressive treatment of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a patient with AIDS. This case is of particular interest because the patient had cardiac involvement at initial presentation.Case ReportA 44-year-old homosexual man was hospitalized at the James A.
