Abstract

A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, centrocitic and centroblastic which was presented as cardiac tamponade, is described. The literature is reviewed commenting on other 14 cases with the same presentation. In spite of the rareness, we highlight the importance of its early diagnosis to prevent the hemodynamic alterations, this being after its control with the same prognosis of other patients afflicted by lymphoma.
