Popis: Pericarditis is an unusual manifestation of gigantic cell arteritis. The following essay describes the case of a female patient who had been diagnosed, three years earlier, with several types of rheumatic myalgia, and because of this, she had had periodical tests in which no complications at all had been observed. At the age of 69, this female patient consulted the doctor for mild fever, dry cough, anorexia and diffuse abdominal pain. The echocardiography showed pericardium discharge and complementary explorations ruled out infectious or neoplasia processes. A corticoid treatment was started and the symptomatology improved in a few days, the pericardium discharge being solved in 3 months.
