Abstract

A 66-year-old woman who presented with malignant cardiac tamponade of unknown origin was eventually found to have a tiny squamous cell carcinoma of the thymus. Thus, even a small thymic carcinoma can exhibit highly aggressive behavior. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of malignant cardiac tamponade of unknown origin.

摘要

一名66岁女性因不明原因的恶性心脏压塞就诊，最终被发现患有微小的胸腺鳞状细胞癌。因此，即使是小的胸腺癌也可表现出高度侵袭性的行为。在不明原因的恶性心脏压塞的鉴别诊断中应考虑到该病。
