    Degos disease, a rare vasculitis, can cause constrictive pericarditis. This case report details extensive pericardial calcification, a previously undocumented finding in this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Rheumatology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Degos disease is a rare systemic vasculitis.
    • It typically presents with characteristic skin and gastrointestinal lesions.
    • Pericardial involvement is uncommon in Degos disease.

    Observation:

    • A 31-year-old woman with a history of Degos disease presented with constrictive pericarditis.
    • Chest roentgenogram revealed extensive pericardial calcification.
    • This finding is unusual given the known manifestations of Degos disease.

    Findings:

    • Constrictive pericarditis is a rare complication of Degos disease.
    • Extensive pericardial calcification has not been previously reported in Degos disease.
    • This case highlights an unusual presentation of a rare disease.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the spectrum of cardiovascular complications associated with Degos disease.
    • It suggests the need for heightened awareness of cardiac involvement in patients with Degos disease.
    • Further research may elucidate the mechanisms linking Degos disease to pericardial calcification and constriction.
