Coming soonPericardial malignant effusion is an oncologic complication characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fluid within the pericardial sac due to direct tumor invasion, hematogenous or lymphatic metastasis, or, rarely, primary pericardial malignancy.
This cardiovascular condition predominantly affects patients with advanced systemic cancers, most commonly lung adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, lymphoma, and melanoma.
Pathophysiologically, neoplastic infiltration impairs lymphatic drainage and stimulates exudative fluid production, progressively increasing intrapericardial pressure.
This process compromises ventricular filling and cardiac output, frequently manifesting with progressive dyspnea, chest discomfort, and a high risk of life-threatening cardiac tamponade.
