Cardiac Manifestations of Lymphoma: A Review of Primary and Secondary Cardiac Lymphoma.

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a very unique and uncommon disease presentation, with reports in the literature limited to case reports. Most often it is B-cell in origin, predominantly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Symptomatic presentation of PCL depends on the location of anatomic involvement, but most often involves the right heart, with presentation consistent with heart failure, pericardial effusions, and atrioventricular nodal blockade.

A Case of "Anaphylaxis" to NovoSeven in a Hemophiliac Patient.

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening emergency that may be confused with other less serious conditions. The onset of true anaphylaxis typically occurs within minutes following exposure to an offending agent, and it can variably include dyspnea/wheezing, hemodynamic compromise, rash, hives/pruritus, swelling, or gastrointestinal symptoms. The absence of an expected association between exposure(s) and classic symptoms should lead to the consideration of alternative diagnoses.
