title: [Pericardial mesothelioma. A case report].
abstract: Primary pericardial mesothelioma is a rare malignancy, with an estimated incidence of 0.0022% in a large autopsy study. We report a case of primary pericardial mesothelioma revealed by a large and recurrent pericardial effusion. Through a literature review, we analyse the clinical findings of this tumor. With or without therapy, prognosis is poor.
