CORREA MARTINEZ, Amaury Jesús et al. Report of a Case with Cardiac Tamponade as a Presentation of Lung Cancer. CCM [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.2, pp. 350-356. ISSN 1560-4381.

The cardiac tamponade is a serious event that requires a quickly diagnose and treatment. Its causes not always are evident, even though, neoplastic processes and in particular the ones related to lungs, should be taken into account. The objective of this work was to provide that the cardiac tamponade could be a way that a lung cancer be manifested. A fifty eight -year- old patient, with a history of smoking for 45 years with a cardiac tamponade, history of previous pericardial stroke, anaemia and hacking cough was presented in this article. A pericardiotomy was performed to drain 2750 millilitres of serohematic fluid. The surgical procedure confirmed the existence of a mixed moderately differentiated, lung adenocarcinoma, with metastasis in the parietal and visceral pericardium. The neoplasia produce frequently hemorrhagic and serohematic bleeding, as well as cardiac tamponade, frequently after pericardiocenthesis, as occurred with this patient.

Palavras-chave : cardiac tamponade; lung neoplasia; metastasic infiltration; pericardiotomy.
