[Clinico-morphological characteristics of pericardial mesothelioma].
The authors describe clinical and morphological features of a rare tumor, pericardial mesothelioma. Their findings lead them to a conclusion that the epithelioid cell form (tubular and papillary variants) is the most incident histologic form of this tumor. They emphasize that life-time diagnosis of pericardial mesothelioma is of paramount importance because rational chemotherapy permits prolongation of the patient's survival.
