Pericardial fat necrosis is an infrequent cause of acute chest pain and this can mimic acute myocardial infarction and acute pericarditis. We describe here a patient with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of pericardial fat necrosis and this was correlated with the computed tomography (CT) findings. The MRI findings may be helpful for distinguishing pericardial fat necrosis from other causes of acute chest pain and from the fat-containing tumors in the cardiophrenic space of the anterior mediastinum.
心包脂肪坏死是急性胸痛的一种罕见病因，这种病可模拟急性心肌梗死和急性心包炎。我们在此描述了一例具有心包脂肪坏死的磁共振成像（MRI）表现的患者，并且将其与计算机断层扫描（CT）表现相关联。MRI 表现可能有助于将心包脂肪坏死与其他引起急性胸痛的原因以及前纵隔心膈角区含脂肪的肿瘤相区分。
