| Popis: |
In patients presenting with pericarditis or pericardial effusion without known malignancy, the likelihood of finding previously undiagnosed cancer in different publications typically ranges from 4% to 7%. Cardiac tamponade due to malignant pericardial effusion is thus a rare clinical entity and often acutely life threatening. The present report describes an unusual case of large pericardial bleeding causing tamponade in the setting of fondaparinux anticoagulation, heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation and eventual discovery of meta-static adenocarcinoma. |
