Deskripsi
Recurrent pericardial effusion is always complicated for the primary care physician to diagnose, and it often goes undiagnosed. Thymoma is rare cancer, but it is the most common tumor in the anterior mediastinum. It can present in a variety of ways; it can be asymptomatic for an extended period of time and only rarely as pericardial effusion. A 68-year-old male presented to us with two episodes of pericardial effusion in the previous 2 years and was later diagnosed with thymoma.
