A case is presented in which features of constrictive pericarditis and a pericardial pseudotumor coexisted. Preoperative cardiac catheterization revealed a gradient across the tricuspid valve. Exploratory surgery revealed a blood-filled cavity within the thickened pericardium overlying the right atrium and right ventricle and a normal tricuspid valve. After pericardiectomy, right cardiac catheterization revealed normal pressures and no gradients.
