Two cases of cardiac tamponade initially suspected to be secondary to malignancy are presented. Primary hypothyroidism can cause pericardial effusions and thyroid function tests confirmed this diagnosis in these cases. Hypothyroidism should be considered as an underlying cause of pericardial effusion in cardiac tamponade.
本文报告了两例最初怀疑继发于恶性肿瘤的心包填塞病例。原发性甲状腺功能减退可导致心包积液,甲状腺功能检查证实了这些病例的这一诊断。甲状腺功能减退应被视为心包填塞中心包积液的潜在病因。
