“…The same treatment scheme was followed in the cases presented by Hajra et al Azanza et al, and Othman et al The specific HL subtype in our case is nodular sclerosis, which is frequently associated with a mediastinal mass [ 14 ]. The association between pericardial involvement in nodular sclerosis HL has been reported in several studies [ 2 , 9 , 15 – 17 ].…”

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon malignancy that is characterized by Hodgkin or Reed–Sternberg cells. Cardiac implications of HL remain one of the least investigated subjects. There are few case reports in the literature of cardiac tamponade in HL patients. We describe a case of a 21‐year‐old female patient who presented with cardiac tamponade as an initial presentation of HL. Any pericardial effusion significant for tamponade requires immediate drainage and fluid analysis for thorough investigation. Prompt identification and timely intervention are crucial in effectively addressing these complex situations. Therefore, clinicians should maintain heightened awareness in such cases.

“…9 In this case it is possible that both mechanisms were included. In reported cases of tamponade in patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma, 2,10 cardiac failure demanding treatment with V-A ECMO in an adolescent has not yet been reported. Potential cause can be hidden in the speed and amount of the effusion removed.…”

Low cardiac output syndrome requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following pericardiocentesis in an adolescent with Hodgkin Lymphoma: a case report

We present a case of a 16-year-old male with large pericardial effusion due to Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Shortly after drainage of pericardial effusion he developed a low cardiac output syndrome which had to be treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This 9-day ECMO support helped the patient to recover his cardiac function, and thereafter a remission of his primary disease was successfully achieved with chemotherapy. It is a matter of discussion whether a large pericardial effusion with moderate symptoms in patients with HL should be evacuated or just observed since the effusion should ameliorate with chemotherapy. But based upon our experience in this case of hemodynamic instability due to a large effusion requiring evacuation, we propose that pericardiocentesis procedure should be performed with caution at a slow drainage rate of 0.5-1 ml/kg/hour with a maximum rate of 50 ml/hour, to help avoid the low cardiac output syndrome in patients with similar disease conditions.

“…[ 5 ] In other case reports also, we have found that patients had nodular sclerosing variety of HL. [ 3 4 10 ] Whether nodular sclerosing type of histology has a relationship with development of pericardial effusion needs more evaluation.…”

Cardiac involvement in malignant lymphoma is one of the least investigated subjects. Pericardial effusion is rarely symptomatic in patients of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Few case reports are available in the literature. There are case reports of diagnosed HL patients presenting with pericardial effusion. HL patients who present with recurrent episodes of pericardial effusion have also been reported. Pericardial effusion has also been reported in cases of non HL. However, pericardial effusion leading to cardiac tamponade as an initial presentation of HL is extremely rare. Very few such cases are there in the literature. Here, we present a case of a 26-year-old male patient who presented with cardiac tamponade and in due course was found to be a case of classical type of HL. This case is interesting because of its presentation.
