title: [Malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium].
abstract: An observation of malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium is described. The tumour grew as papillomatous formations and thick plaques lining the inner surface of the pericardium with transition to the epicardium and the development of massive hemorrhagic pericarditis. The mixed nodular-plate form is histological close to adenocarcinoma. There were metastases in the pleura, paratracheal and posterior mediastinal lymph nodes. Clinically the disease ran a course with angina pectoris and simulated idiopathic myocarditis not confirmed histologically.
