"Neoplastic pericardial involvement is one possible cause of pericardial effusion or pericarditis with an estimated frequency of 5-10% alongside other causes as idiopathic pericarditis, radiation or chemotherapy-induced pericarditis and others 1-3. Primary pericardial tumours are rare. Secondary involvement of other neoplasms as lung cancer, breast cancer, lymphomas or leukaemias are more common 1."

"Clinical features of pericardial involvement in neoplastic disease include dyspnoea and reduced exercise intolerance, pericarditic chest pain, fatigue and possible pericardial friction rub. Often there will be a known underlying malignancy. However, malignant pericardial effusion might also occur as an initial presentation of malignant disease 1-3."
