Abstract
We report two patients with AIDS and non-Hodgkin lymphoma evolving myocardium. Clinical findings were nonspecific, but rapid progression and cardiac dysfunction developed. An echocardiogram showed restrictive pericarditis in both cases. One of them showed mitral insufficiency because of an infiltrated and trapped posterior mitral valve.
