Abstract
- The occurrence of malignant pericardial effusion is rare in squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Only six cases of antemortem diagnosis have been reported. We report a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix who received emergent pericardiocentesis. In a few reported cases, women with pericardial involvement are candidates for radiation or chemotherapy. Early detection and prompt management of pericardial effusion is correlated with better quality of life and a decreased morbidity.
