Figure 1. Chest X-ray on admission shows enlargement of the cardiac
silhouette and large left pleural effusion (yellow arrow)
Figure 2. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) on admission indicates
large pericardial effusion (yellow arrow) seen on subcostal view (figure
A) and Short axis view (figure B).
Figure 3. Eight color flow cytometric immunophenotyping of pericardial
fluid indicated 34% CD45 negative cell population (A). Representative
dot plots gated on CD45- (K gate) cells show high expression of CD138
(B), negative expression of CD27 (C), CD28 (D), CD19 (F) and a partial
expression of CD81 (E). CD45- cells show positive monoclonality for
Kappa light chain (G).
Figure 4. Eight color flow cytometric immunophenotyping of pleural fluid
indicated 46% CD45 negative cell population (A and B). Representative
dot plots gated on CD45- (K gate) cells show high expression of CD138
(C) and a partial expression of CD81 (D).
