Echocardiography guided pericardiocentesis may be helpful in the diagnosis of the pericarditis etiology. Pericardial fluid aspiration for cytology and immunohistochemistry analysis should be done in pericarditis with effusion. Pericardiocentesis should be done in patients with high susceptibility of neoplastic pericarditis which cytology analysis for malignancy was negative.
