A sixty-three-year-old patient with malignant histiocytic lymphoma of the heart presented with both superior vena cava syndrome and cardiac tamponade. A two-dimensional echocardiogram showed a large tumor mass in the right atrium and pericardial effusion with right ventricular compression. Superior and inferior vena cavagrams disclosed a lobulated tumor located in the right atrium that extended into and obstructed the superior vena cava. After the pericardial effusion was drained and the diagnosis was established, the patient was irradiated and given chemotherapy with resolution of the tamponade and superior vena cava obstruction.
