Abstract:
We describe a very rare case of immunoblastic lymphadenopathy (IBL) accompanied with a sick sinus syndrome (SSS) in a 64-year-old male. SSS presented with progression of the IBL and subsided with improvement of the IBL following high dose prednisolone (PSL) therapy. The clinical course of this patient strongly suggested cardiac involvement in IBL and being the cause of the transient SSS. To our knowledge, this is the first case of IBL demonstrating SSS as a possible complication of the disease. This case may provide further information for the treatment of similar patients with IBL.
