Vandana A Tendolkar, Archana U Shekokar

Abstract :

In a 55 years old male cadaver, obtained from Mental Hospital, Yerawada, a large heart, with a fatty appearance was found during routine dissection. The pericardium was adherent to the adjacent mediastinal and diaphragmatic pleura. The outer surface of the fious pericardium was laden with fat. The epicardial surface of the heart and the inner surface of the pericardium were rough due to deposition of fiin. We report here a case of fiinous pericarditis, confirmed by histopathological study of the tissues. Studies revealed inflammation of the pericardium and myocardium, and congested pericardial blood vessels. No other abnormality was found.
