Commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, specifically cytarabine and daunorubicin, can cause effusive‐constrictive pericarditis. We describe a case of transient effusive‐constrictive pericarditis in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia. This is the first case report of a patient with transient effusive‐constrictive pericarditis due to chemotherapy.
