The cause of CCP is various including tuberculosis, trauma, prior surgery, radiation, and malignancy.We examined the pericardiectomy specimen of a case of CCP in a 17-year-old boy.The histopathology of the pericardium revealed pericardial ossification bony remodeling and hematopoiesis within the intertrabecular marrow spaces. No granulomatous or neoplastic etiology was identified.Idiopathic pericardial ossification can cause CCP in pediatric patients. |
