Sumario:INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Pericardial involvement due to gastric cancer is uncommon, especially when it is secondary to direct tumor infiltration. Its manifestation as cardiac tamponade is an exceptional situation that represents a challenge for the treating medical team. CASE PRESENTATION: a case of a patient with advanced gastric cancer with cardiopericardial infiltration, complicated with cardiac tamponade is reported. A narrative review of the diagnostic and therapeutic management was performed. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: There are no well-established diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. CONCLUSIONS: It is such an exceptional entity that most of the available bibliography is based on case reports or expert opinions. It is a situation with a very bad prognosis.
