“…Chemotherapy and radiotherapy would have been only palliative. [6,10] A review of the literature yielded four other cases of localized pericardial mesothelioma besides ours. Most cases of this rare cancer are seen in women and are of the epithelial type.…”

“…However, it is the most common primary malignant pericardial tumor and can also be secondary to malignant pleural mesothelioma. Pericardial mesothelioma presents either as a localized tumor associated with pericardial effusions [6] or as an encasing mass involving the whole pericardium. [7] The degree of invasion varies, but local infiltration into the cardiac chambers has been reported.…”

Kalbin etrafındaki perikard boşluğunu etkileyen çeşitli kanser ve hastalıklar mevcut olup, perikardiyal mezotelyom bunların en nadir görülen patolojilerinden biridir. Perikardiyal mezotelyom, en sık görülen primer malign perikardiyal tümördür. Malign perikardiyal mezotelyomanın klinik tablosu göğüs ağrısı, nefes darlığı, öksürük ve geceleri şiddetli terlemeden oluşur. Bu yazıda, bugüne kadar bildirilmiş iki yıllık en uzun sağkalım süresi ile birlikte, literatürdeki beşinci lokalize izole perikardiyal mezotelyom olgusu sunuldu.Anah tar söz cük ler: Mezotelyom; perikardiyum; torakotomi.There are several cancers and diseases which affect the pericardial space around the heart, and pericardial mesothelioma is one of the rarest pathology. It is the most common primary malignant pericardial tumor. The clinical presentation of malignant pericardial mesothelioma includes chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing and severe nocturnal sweating. In this article, we report the fifth case of the localized isolated pericardial mesothelioma in the literature and the longest survival at two years reported so far.

“…Более информативными для диагностики опухолей сердца считаются компьютерная и магнитно-резо-нансная томографии сердца, при которых ПМТП, чаще всего, описывается как локализованная опу-холь в перикарде с перикардиальным выпотом [20], или как опухолевая масса, охватывающая весь пе-рикард [21] с разной степенью инвазии в камеры сердца [22]. Магнитно-резонансная томография считается сравнительно более информативным исследованием для оценки локализации и распро-страненности опухоли [7].…”

“…4 As would be expected, primary pericardial mesotheliomas are extremely rare (estimated incidence of 0.0022% in a study of 500 000 autopsies) but even so they are the most common primary pericardial tumor. 5 They can present as a localized or diffuse mass, and three histological types have been described: epithelial, spindle cell and biphasic (epithelial and spindle cells occurring together). 6 Unlike pleural mesotheliomas, no consistent link has been found with asbestos exposure, as in the present case.…”

Among cardiovascular diseases, pericardial disease has specific characteristics. Its etiology, diagnosis and medical management are not as well understood as in coronary and valvular heart disease. In most cases, its cause is benign, although the proportion decreases with more severe clinical presentation.The authors present the case of a 35-year-old man with no relevant past medical history, who went to the emergency department with what appeared to be an idiopathic case of acute pericarditis. However, over the following five months, there was an unfavorable evolution to constrictive pericarditis, requiring pericardiectomy. The final diagnosis was only made following surgery ---a rare case of a primary pericardial tumor, a mesothelioma. © 2012 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Published by Elsevier España, S.L. All rights reserved. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Pericardite constritiva; MesoteliomaCausa rara de doença pericárdica Resumo As doenças do pericárdio apresentam-se como uma patologia particular do foro cardiovascular. Os seus componentes etiológicos e a gestão diagnóstica e terapêutica não estão tão bem compreendidos e estudados, comparativamente com outras áreas, como a doença coronária ou valvulopatias. Maioritariamente, a etiologia é benigna, mas a sua proporção diminui à medida que a apresentação e evolução clínicas são mais exuberantes.Os autores descrevem um caso de um homem de 35 anos de idade, sem antecedentes clínico-patológicos de relevo conhecidos, que se apresenta num Serviço de Urgência com o que aparenta ser um episódio de pericardite aguda de etiologia idiopática. Contudo, ao longo de cinco meses, evolui desfavoravelmente, com necessidade de orientação para pericardiectomia por pericardite constritiva. Apenas no bloco operatório foi feito o diagnóstico etiológico final. Tratava-se de um caso muito raro de neoplasia primária do pericárdio, um mesotelioma.
