Effusive-Constrictive Pericarditis Secondary to Primary Pericardial Lymphoma: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Few cases of primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) are found in the literature. We report the case of an 85 year-old male who presented with cardiac tamponade and effusive-constrictive pericarditis secondary to primary cardiac lymphoma involving only the pericardium. There have been no prior published cases with these rare scenarios.

A case of pleural mesothelioma with effusive-constrictive pericarditis.
Mesothelioma infrequently causes pericardial constriction and rarely symptomatic pericardial tamponade. Most commonly, a primary pleural malignancy will extend locally, but primary involvement of pericardium is also well-recognized. However, pericardial fibrosis in conjunction with pleural mesothelioma has not been described before in the literature. We report a case of pleural mesothelioma wit...

متن کاملQuantification of echodensities in tuberculous pericardial effusion using fractal geometry: a proof of concept study
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to quantify the heterogeneous distribution of echodensities in the pericardial fluid of patients with tuberculous pericarditis using echocardiography and fractal analysis, and to determine whether there were differences in the fractal dimensions of effusive-constrictive and effusive non-constrictive disease. METHODS We used fractal geometry to quantify...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Effusive Constrictive Cholesterol Pericarditis: A Case Report and Review
Effusive constrictive cholesterol pericarditis is exceedingly rare. Most cases have an unclear etiology but can be associated with rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis infection, and hypothyroidism. The hallmark of the effusion is the distinctively high levels of cholesterol. We present the case of a 68-year-old male with prolonged symptoms of dyspnea with associated moderate pericardial effusion...
متن کاملPropionibacterium acnes: A Treatable Cause of Constrictive Pericarditis
In this case report we share a case of infective Pericarditis caused by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) in an immune-competent, nonsurgical patient. This case and review will illustrate the importance of considering P. acnes as a cause of idiopathic pericardial effusion and effusive constrictive disease. The patient was a 61-year-old male with history of osteoarthritis of the knee. He receiv...
