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).
