ABSTRACT
Cardiac tamponade and malignancy are associated with a poor prognosis in Progressive Systemic Sclerosis (PSS). We present the case of a 31-year-old African-Jamaican woman with PSS and a thyroid neoplasm who presented with cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis. Despite the presence of two poor prognostic markers, she has had a favourable postoperative course.
