Acute onset of constrictive pericarditis due to acute myelomonocytic leukemia: A case and literature review.
Internal Medicine 2024 April 17
We herein present a fatal case of constrictive pericarditis (CP) due to acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) in a patient who initially complained of an acute onset of chest pain two days after COVID-19 vaccination. An autopsy revealed pericardial infiltration of leukemic cells. CP is rarely associated with leukemia and only 14 cases have been reported in the literature. The etiology of CP in previous reports included leukemic infiltration, graft-versus-host disease, drug-induced, post-radiation, autoimmune, and otherwise unidentified. This case indicates that leukemic infiltration can cause CP and that clinicians should include leukemia in the differential diagnosis of CP.
