Pericardial involvement in an advanced malignancy is common but malignancy presenting as cardiac tamponade is rather uncommon. Review of English literature using Medline CD ROM revealed 131 cases since 1935, who have presented with this life threatening emergency. Lung is the most common primary site followed by lymphomas and leukemias. We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma of kidney presenting as cardiac tamponade. Such a presentation of transitional cell carcinoma of kidney has never been reported.
晚期恶性肿瘤累及心包很常见，但以心脏压塞为表现的恶性肿瘤却相当罕见。使用Medline光盘检索英文文献发现，自1935年以来有131例出现这种危及生命的紧急情况。肺部是最常见的原发部位，其次是淋巴瘤和白血病。我们报告一例以心脏压塞为表现的肾移行细胞癌病例。肾移行细胞癌的这种表现从未有过报道。
