Abstrakt: We describe a 3rd patient with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (ISSc) complicated by a pericardial effusion sufficient to cause hemodynamic compromise. Although more commonly appreciated as a complication of diffuse systemic sclerosis, the recognition of hemodynamically compromising pericardial effusion presenting in the limited form of ISSc can be lifesaving.
