[The concomitance of pericarditis constrictiva in patient with Silver-Russell syndrome, primary hyperparathyroidism and oncologic history: causal coincidence or pathogenetic sequence?]. / Zaciskajace zapalenie osierdzia u pacjentki z zespolem Silver-Russella, pierwotna nadczynnoscia przytarczyc i wywiadem onkologicznym: przypadkowa koincydencja czy sekwencja patogenetyczna?

ABSTRACT

The most common cause of calcific pericarditis is idiopathic. We report a case of a 24 year-old woman with Silver-Russell syndrome, history of Wilms' tumour in childhood, constrictive pericarditis and primary hyperparathyroidism. We analyse pathologic mechanisms of disseminated calcification and possible genetic factors that may contribute to aetiology and clinical presentation of calcific pericarditis.
