Metastatic Pericardial Effusion And Cardiac Tamponade Due To Parotid Adenocarcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metastatic malignancy presenting as cardiac tamponade is not uncommon; however, hematogenous spread from carcinoma is rare. There are only three previously reported cases of parotid malignancy with pericardial metastasis. We report a case of parotid adenocarcinoma leading to cardiac tamponade in a 61-year old man. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade. The diagnosis was confirmed by echocardiography and computed tomography followed by pericardiocentesis. Cytological examination showed metastatic adenocarcinaoma from parotid gland. This case illustrates hematogenous spread of parotid adenocarcinoma to pericardium leading to cardiac tamponade.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report an unusual case of a patient with adenocarcinoma of ...
متن کاملMetastatic adenocarcinoma presenting as choroidal mass and recurrent cardiac tamponade.
Cardiac tamponade is an unusual earliest presentation of undiagnosed metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown origin. Malignant pericardial effusion requiring drainage is also a poor prognostic marker with reported median survival of 6.1 months. A choroidal mass may be the presenting sign of systemic malignancy; the diagnosis of metastatic ocular tumour is important as it portends poor prognosis. W...
متن کاملCardiac Tamponade as an Initial Manifestation of Lung Carcinoma
Background: Pericardial involvement, with subsequent effusion and cardiac tamponade, may be a metastatic manifestation of an advanced lung carcinoma. These neoplastic pericardial effusions are usually asymptomatic and often times being diagnosed at an autopsy. We report on a 44-year-old woman who presented with cardiac tamponade and further investigations revealed a metastasis from the lung can...

متن کاملComparison of the prevalence of pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade after cardiac surgery with and without chest tube suction in patients referred to Chamran hospital, Isfahan
Background: Pericardial effusion is one of the most important complications of cardiac surgeries. Administration of a low-power suction to the mediastinal or pleural chest tube of patients helps better and constant drainage of pericardial or pleural secretions after surgeries. This technique might change the secretion and discharges of patients and might change the outcomes of surgeries. Metho...
