Hodgkin's Lymphoma in a Man with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Paraneoplastic Ataxia: A Therapeutical Challenge.

Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. We report the case of a man with Hodgkin's lymphoma and cardiomyopathy, for which the dilemma was whether to use the standard protocol - putting the patient at risk of worsening of heart failure, but giving him a good chance of full recovery - or not. The standard protocol was given and the patient made a full recovery without cardiac complications.
