| Abstrakt: |
Morphologic, cytochemical and immunocytochemical studies of pericardial fluid from a 30-year-old man presenting with cardiac tamponade are described. Based on the results of the immunocytochemical studies and the histologic examination of excised pericardium, a diagnosis of malignant thymoma was made. This is the first documented case in which malignant cells were found in the pericardial effusion in a patient with invasive thymoma. The significance of using a multidisciplinary approach to the study of body fluids is discussed. |
