Abstract :






The association between Hodgkin’s lymphoma, antiphospholipid syndrome and severe mitral insuffi ciency is a very rare event. We report on a 25-year-old female patient suffering from Hodgkin’s lymphoma and presenting with thromboembolic events and severe mitral insufficiency. The possible link between these symptoms being antiphospholipid antibodies, is discussed briefly.
