Case report: A rare case of gelatinous pericardial effusion in a COVID-19 positive breast cancer patient

This case highlights the potential for unique interactions between breast cancer and COVID-19, particularly in the development of pericardial effusions with unusual characteristics and a gelatinous appearance. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and clinical implications of this association.
