ABSTRACT
Metastic calcification of the heart, lungs and kidneys is described in a 42-year-old male who had an HTLV-I-associated lymphoma. This fatal complication of HTLV-I-associated lymphoma has been infrequently reported, and the case in question is the first to be recorded in the Caribbean, where HTLV-I is common. Aggressive therapy of hypercalcaemia should be instituted early in its genesis in these lymphomas, so as to avoid its fatal outcome (AU)
