    Author: González Valverde FM, Gómez Ramos MJ, Moltó Aguado M, Balsalobre MD, Menarguez F, Mauri F, Barreras JA, Torregrosa N, Vázquez JL.
    Journal: Eur J Surg Oncol; 2005 Mar; 31(2):205-7. PubMed ID: 15698739.
    Abstract:
    We herein describe a 19-year-old woman who presented with pericardial effusion that resulted in heart tamponade. The clinicopathological study revealed papillary carcinoma of the thyroid metastasized to the heart. Although malignant pericardial effusion is a known complication of thyroid cancer, it is rarely the first manifestation and shows a relatively favourable prognosis despite widespread metastases if adequate treatment is given.
