[Case of hemorrhagic pericarditis as the initial manifestation of pulmonary adenocarcinoma].
The Authors describe a case of pericardial involvement as the first sign of lung adenocarcinoma. Several evacuatory pericardiocentesis were required to treat recurrent hemorrhagic effusion. Pericardiectomy was finally carried out. The course of pericarditis was rapid: three and half months elapsed from the first symptoms of dyspnea to the death of patient.
