Malignant thymoma. A complicated triad of SVC syndrome, cardiac tamponade, and DIC
Chest.
1994 Mar.
Abstract
A patient presented with multisystem disease due to a very aggressive malignant thymoma. The case was complicated by the triad of cardiac tamponade, superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A review of the English literature reveals this to be a unique constellation of clinical symptoms and that DIC was heretofore unreported.
