Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE), also known as marantic endocarditis, is a condition characterized by the deposition of thrombi and fibrin on normal or degenerated cardiac valves in the absence of microorganisms. We report a case of a 60-year-old male with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis found on transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) after a normal TEE just one month prior.

Background: The risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is increased 200-fold in individuals seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus compared to those free from human immunodeficiency virus. Human immunodeficiency virus-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma is known for its atypical presentation, aggressive ability, widespread involvement, poor response to chemotherapy, and high relapse potential which makes both the diagnosis and management a difficult undertaking especially in resource-poor settings.
Case Presentation: We report a case of primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma in a 46-year-old woman of African descent who is human immunodeficiency virus positive who presented with symptoms of superior vena cava syndrome.
