A rare case of constrictive pericarditis as initial manifestation of paediatric anaplastic large cell lymphoma requiring urgent pericardiectomy

Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis: a rare cause of effusive-constrictive pericarditis requiring pericardiectomy.

Effusive-constrictive pericarditis is a rare condition. In this report, we describe a case of effusive-constrictive pericarditis caused by seronegative rheumatoid arthritis which was successfully treated with surgical pericardiectomy.
