Abstract
Malignant pericardial effusions (MPE) account for approximately 21% of all patients with advanced malignancies. The standard approach to management of MPE has remained controversial. In this article, we present the case of an 18-year-old female who was admitted to our clinic with pericardial tamponade. A cytological examination of the pericardial effusion revealed malignant cells, and the biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma of the nodular sclerosing type.
