Key result
Pericardectomy successfully resolves hemorrhagic pericardial effusion and organized thrombi mimicking cardiac neoplasia.
Why the study?
Idiopathic hemorrhagic pericardial effusion with organized thrombi can mimic cardiac neoplasia echocardiographically, requiring inclusion in differential diagnoses of cardiac masses.

Consider organized thrombi in differentials for right heart masses with tamponade in dogs; case report leaves open echocardiographic distinction from neoplasia.
Case Report (n=1)
Organized thrombi in idiopathic hemorrhagic pericardial effusion can mimic cardiac neoplasia on echocardiography and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses.
Madron et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Idiopathic hemorrhagic pericardial effusion with organized thrombi (n=1). Pericardectomy and biopsies was evaluated on Health status after surgery. Pericardectomy and biopsies successfully treated a dog with idiopathic hemorrhagic pericardial effusion and organized thrombi mimicking cardiac neoplasia, with the dog remaining healthy at 3 months.
