Summary, etc. &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Mycoplasma pneumoniae primarily causes respiratory tract infections. Extrapulmonary manifestations are seen in 20-25% of cases. Cardiac involvement is rarely reported. We present a unique case of a&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"&gt;pericardial&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"&gt;mass&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and cardiac&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"&gt;tamponade&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;associated with a Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. This required emergency&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"&gt;pericardial&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;fenestration. The patient improved dramatically postoperatively on antibiotics and there was no recurrence of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"&gt;pericardial&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;effusion on follow up. This case highlights the often forgotten invasive properties of a common respiratory tract pathogen and emphasises the need to consider this easily treatable entity in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"&gt;pericardial&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;effusions.&lt;/span&gt;
