Continuous drainage for the treatment of gastric cancer with pericardial metastasis and cardiac tamponade: A case report

Signet‐ring cell gastric carcinomas presenting as pericardial effusion early in diagnosis are rare and associated with high mortality and a poor prognosis. There are two interesting aspects of this case: primary gastric carcinoma presenting as cardiac tamponade and the metastatic behavior of gastric signet‐ring cell carcinoma.
