    Abstract:
    The pericardial metastatic disease is rare in genital cancers but is frequent in all other cancer. The authors report the case of a female affected by both papillary ovarian cancer and pericardial metastatic disease. Carcinomatous pericarditis began with cardiac tamponade. This pericarditis is very rare during ovarian cancer and there is little informations in the literature about it. The clinical picture showed an acuteness that cleared up with many pericardial tapping paracenteses, and after six cycles of polychemotherapy we obtained the disappearance of pericardial effusion and metastasis with total disappearance of abdominal metastases and the total remission of the cancer.
