Abstract
Primary pericardial mesothelioma is rare and remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Pericardial mesothelioma usually occurs independently of intracardiac lesions and infiltrates adjacent tissues superficially. An extremely rare case of malignant pericardial mesothelioma complicated by prior mitral valve surgery is reported. The tumour invaded the left atrium and mimicked a thrombus.Keywords
