  • Title: Angiosarcoma in a pregnant woman presenting with pericardial tamponade--a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Azimi NA, Selter JG, Abott JD, Cabin HS, Hutner A, Copel J, Setaro JF.
    Journal: Angiology; 2006; 57(2):251-7. PubMed ID: 16518537.
    Abstract:
    Although asymptomatic pericardial effusions are relatively common in pregnancy, their true incidence is not known. Symptomatic effusions are, however, rare in pregnancy. The authors present a rare case of pericardial tamponade complicating pregnancy with resulting diagnosis of angiosarcoma. They review the literature involving pericardial disease in pregnancy and discuss important issues in management and include a discussion of angiosarcoma.
