Multiple myeloma presents with various clinical manifestations depending on the mode and the extent of organ involvement. Pericardial myeloma involvement and subsequent cardiac tamponade is extremely rare (<0,2%) [1]. We report the case of a patient with multiple myeloma who presented with cardiac tamponade and was evaluated surgically with thoracotomy and minimal debulking pericardiectomy (fenestration).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
