RESUMEN
Cholesterol pericarditis is an uncommon, specific form of pericardial disease that is characterized by the presence of cholesterol crystals in pericardial fluid. The etiology may be either idiopathic or in association with systemic disorders such as tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, myxedema or hypercholesterolemia. We report a case of cholesterol pericarditis in a 51-year-old male who was diagnosed with chronic renal failure due to polycystic kidney disease. To our knowledge no similar cases have been reported to date in the literature.
