Abstract
It is estimated that the pericardium is affected by 10 to 21% of patients with neoplasms. Malignant pericardial effusion is a complication that may be related to neoplastic disease in which, if not diagnosed and conducted rapidly, it may be life threatening requiring diagnosis. A 52-year-old female patient who, after having undergone pericardioscopy with pericardial biopsies to investigate pericardial effusion, obtained metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma, and gastric neoplasm with digestive endoscopy was confirmed.
