Primary pericardial tumors are an entity that is infrequently encountered and may be a cause of pericardial effusion. Primary synovial sarcomas of the pericardium are even rarer malignant invasive tumors that are a challenge to recognize due to their vague presentation and difficulty in diagnosing non-invasively. Here, we report a case of a 48-year-old gentleman of South Asian descent, who was incidentally found to have pericardial and bilateral pleural effusions and subsequently diagnosed to have primary pericardial synovial sarcoma.
原发性心包肿瘤是一种罕见的疾病,可能是心包积液的病因。原发性心包滑膜肉瘤更是罕见的恶性侵袭性肿瘤,由于其表现不明确且难以进行非侵入性诊断,因此识别起来具有挑战性。在此,我们报告一例48岁的南亚裔男性病例,该患者偶然发现有心包积液和双侧胸腔积液,随后被诊断为原发性心包滑膜肉瘤。
