The presence of Hodgkin's lymphomas concurrently with
cardiovascular diseases is generally a rare condition. In this
article we present a 26-years-old male case with Marfan's
syndrome in whom we detected an aneurysm of ascending
aorta, and supraaortic valvular membrane and Hodgkin
lymphoma that was diagnosed in the postoperative period.
Echocardiographic examination of the patient revealed the
presence of an ascending aortic aneurysm and a supravalvular
aortic ring. A computed tomography of the chest
revealed the presence of an aneurysm of approximately 9
cm in the ascending aorta. Emergency ascending aortic
and root replacement was performed on the patient using
the modified flanged Bentall technique. No problems were
detected during the postoperative monitoring. Due to the
presence of supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, lymphoid
tissue biopsy was taken from supraclavicular region and the
patient was diagnosed with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's
lymphoma. The patient has been receiving chemotherapy
for three-years since the surgery and in the three-year
postoperative evaluation, he had no problems or symptoms.
