Abstract :
Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition which must be quickly diagnosed and treated. This medical urgency can have several possible causes. We report the case of a 59-year-old patient presenting with a cardiac tamponade caused by extramedullary haematopoiesis due to myelofibrosis.
