Abstract
Pericardial fat necrosis has a highly characteristic clinical picture that enables a preoperative diagnosis to be made on clinical grounds. Surgical therapy, which remains the treatment of choice for this curable entity, confirms the diagnosis. This report reviews the literature and adds a thirteenth documented case to the previously reported 12 cases.Entities:
