She was found to have mild peri-orbital edema, an erythematous rash to the anterior nasal bridge and cheeks in a butterfly distribution sparing the nasolabial folds, and several raised, hyperpigmented round lesions noted to the hairline, eyebrows anterior aspect of the chest, posterior neck, and scalp (Figures 1-2).

FIG3
An electrocardiogram revealed sinus tachycardia with low voltage QRS and few premature ventricular complexes (Figure 3).
Apical view of the heart by 2D-echocardiogram with the presence of moderate to large pericardial effusion (PE) and underfilled left (LV) and right ventricle (RV). The left atrium is not shown because it collapsed.

Subsequently, a formal cardiac echocardiogram was performed, which showed a normal left ventricular (LV) cavity with an ejection fraction of around 55% to 60%, mild LV hypertrophy, moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation, right ventricular systolic pressure of 85-90 mmHg, and a large pericardial effusion with a respiratory variation of mitral inflow and compression of the right atrium suggesting tamponade physiology (Figures 4-5).
