According to the literature, primary pericardial tumors are extremely rare, rarer than cardiac tumors. By 1980, 117 reports on this pathology had been published in the world literature, most of which were based on autopsy data. Difficulties of in vivo diagnosis of pericardial mesothelioma are due to the absence of pathognomonic symptoms. The presence of hemorrhagic effusion in the absence of isoinflammatory manifestations and the results of cytological study of the exudate allow suspecting the tumor.Here is our observation.
