Computed tomographic imaging of the chest (Panel B) revealed a large pericardial effusion (asterisk), a lung mass in the left lower lobe, and necrotic-appearing left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. [nejm.org]

pericardial effusion was observed on a CT thorax; fluid analysis of the cardiac tamponade revealed CD138-positive plasma cells At this stage, the patient was kept comfortable with hospice care and died 1 month later This is an unusual presentation of [multiplemyelomahub.com]

Six patients had exertional dyspnea and 13 had dyspnea at rest; three needed emergency pericardiocentesis. An average of 740 ml of fluid was recovered; cytology was diagnostic in 11 cases and histopathology in 10 cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 52-year-old woman with stage IV ovarian adenocarcinoma presented with worsening cough, dyspnea, and fatigue. Chest X-ray and echocardiogram confirmed the presence of pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Symptoms may arise gradually or rapidly, depending on fluid accumulation rate, and may range from dyspnoea, chest pain, cough, palpitations and orthopnoea, to fatigue, anxiety and confusion. [oncologypro.esmo.org]

Symptoms of malignant pericardial effusion include shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, and edema. [swjpcc.com]

On review of systems, she reported a 3-month history of a progressive cough and a 3-week history of hoarseness with progressive shortness of breath (SOB) and difficulty speaking. [advancedpractitioner.com]

The dyspnea and cough were significantly alleviated following drainage of the fluid and the subsequent intrathoracic and intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin. [spandidos-publications.com]

With progression of constrictive pericarditis, symptoms of right-sided heart failure (eg, peripheral edema, nausea, abdominal discomfort, ascites) become apparent and usually precede signs of left-sided failure (eg, exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Other symptoms arise from the compression of surrounding structures (lung, stomach, phrenic nerve) or diastolic heart failure and include chest pressure or pain, dyspnea, nausea, abdominal fullness, and dysphagia. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

On evaluation, radiology revealed right adrenal mass with periportal, periaortic and aortocaval lymphadenopathy, mild hepatomegaly with fatty liver and cardiac tamponade with bilateral pleural effusion and minimal ascites. [article.sciencepublishinggroup.com]

Minocycline instillation was associated with severe chest pain in seven patients, and with ECG changes suggesting pericardial or subepicardial injury in two patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Symptoms may arise gradually or rapidly, depending on fluid accumulation rate, and may range from dyspnoea, chest pain, cough, palpitations and orthopnoea, to fatigue, anxiety and confusion. [oncologypro.esmo.org]

In the clinical assessment of pericardial effusion, the absence of hallmark features (chest pain, friction rub, fever, characteristic EKG findings) has been associated with a greater likelihood of MPE. [shmabstracts.com]

Symptoms of malignant pericardial effusion include shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, and edema. [swjpcc.com]

EKG showed sinus tachycardia, low QRS voltage with electric alternans (Figure 1), and chest x-ray demonstrated cardiomegaly with a water bottle shaped heart (Figure 2A), suggesting pericardial effusion. [swjpcc.com]

Malignant involvement of the pericardium oroccasionally treatment of malignancy can cause pericardial effusion.Pericardial effusion can be asymptomatic or cause chest discomfort,dyspnea, tachycardia, hypotension and cardiogenic shock, with increasingamount [nebraska.pure.elsevier.com]

The odds ratios for cardiac tamponade in PE were 3.7 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.65-8.30) for low-voltage complexes, 12.3 (95% CI: 1.58-95.17) for electrical alternans, and 4.9 (95% CI: 2.22-10.80) for sinus tachycardia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At physical examination, tachycardia, decreased heart sounds, neck vein distension, peripheral oedema and pericardial friction rubs may be present. [oncologypro.esmo.org]

Malignant pericardial effusion can lead to various adverse events including, chest discomfort, dyspnea, tachycardia, hypotension and cardiogenic shock, although some patients remain undiagnosed until death. [e-crt.org]

At initial evaluation, a chest radiograph may provide evidence of an enlarged cardiac silhouette, while at electrocardiography (ECG) low-voltage complexes and electrical alternans are suggestive of pericardial effusion. [oncologypro.esmo.org]
