This review covers rare pericardial tumors, detailing their radiologic and pathologic findings. Accurate diagnosis of these pericardial lesions is crucial for timely and appropriate patient therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Pathology
  • Thoracic Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Pericardial tumors are uncommon and encompass primary neoplasms and secondary metastases.
  • A broad differential diagnosis is essential for pericardial mass-lesions.
  • Timely and accurate diagnosis impacts therapeutic decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the spectrum of pericardial tumors.
  • To summarize radiologic and pathologic findings.
  • To aid in the differential diagnosis of pericardial masses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of primary and secondary pericardial tumors.
  • Analysis of radiologic imaging characteristics.
  • Correlation of imaging with histopathologic findings.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of common primary pericardial tumors (e.g., mesotheliomas, sarcomas).
  • Overview of metastatic tumors to the pericardium (e.g., lung, breast, lymphoma).
  • Key imaging features differentiating various pericardial lesions.

Conclusions:

  • Recognition of the diverse origins of pericardial tumors is vital.
  • Integrated radiologic and pathologic assessment improves diagnostic accuracy.
  • Understanding common pericardial lesions facilitates appropriate management.
