Adult-onset Still's disease is a rare inflammatory disorder with multiple forms of manifestation; however, the onset with myocarditis or pericarditis is even less common (7% prevalence). Herein, we present a case of a previously healthy 30-year-old man, who consulted for chest pain. During his clinical evolution, he was diagnosed with myopericarditis. Various aetiologies were evaluated and after multiple studies adult-onset Still's disease was diagnosed. Treatment with corticosteroids was established evidencing an adequate response.

Palabras clave : Still's disease adult onset; Myocarditis; Pericarditis; Rheumatology; Cardiology.
