Abstract

More than 50% of pericardial effusions in cancer patients are caused by a non-malignant process. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first line technique for the evaluation of pericardial disease, but sometimes multimodality imaging can help. CT have emerged as an alternative to determine the amount and distribution of the fluid and to characterize pericardial anatomy, masses or the pericardial fluid itself providing useful information to determine the aetiology of the effusion and to guide the management. In this clinical case we will briefly review the usefulness of CT in pericardial disease
