ABSTRACT
A 48-year-old Egyptian woman presented with 8 months of sharp right upper chest pain and weight loss. She was discovered to have an enlarged cardiac silhouette on chest x-ray, and an echocardiogram revealed a large pericardial effusion with diastolic right atrial collapse. Pericardial window was done, and epithelial membrane antigen-positive neoplastic cells were identified in the pericardial fluid. Computed tomography showed a 6-cm hypermetabolic lesion on the liver segment IV, confirmed on biopsy to be a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma consistent with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
