Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary pericardial mesothelioma is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
  • Its incidence is estimated at 0.0022% based on autopsy studies.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of primary pericardial mesothelioma.
  • The tumor was identified through a large and recurrent pericardial effusion.

Findings:

  • Clinical findings associated with this rare tumor were analyzed via a literature review.
  • The prognosis for primary pericardial mesothelioma is consistently poor, irrespective of therapeutic interventions.

Implications:

  • Early recognition of pericardial effusion as a potential indicator of rare malignancies is crucial.
  • Further research into diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for primary pericardial mesothelioma is warranted.
