Abstract | INTRODUCTION: OBSERVATION: DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this is the first case of pericardial involvement of a necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. The discovery of the disease, revealed by a visceral manifestation at the onset is uncommon. The subsequent appearance of typical cutaneous lesions permits the retrospective diagnosis of systemic necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. Because its diagnosis is difficult in the absence of concomitant cutaneous involvement, visceral localizations of the disease must be recognized.
