Sumario:Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a refractory T-cell lymphoma with variable clinical profiles, commonly exhibiting extra-nodal involvement. The myocardial involvement of ATL is often detected at an autopsy; however, the development of a symptomatic cardiac mass due to ATL is extremely rare. We herein report a 65-year-old man with ATL who developed cardiac symptoms due to a rapidly enlarging left ventricular mass soon after the initiation of systemic chemotherapy. We also summarize previously reported cases of symptomatic ATL with cardiac involvement.
