Abstract
Although cardiac tamponade is a known complication of malignancy, it is rarely the initial manifestation. We report a 46‐year‐old male who presented with malignant cardiac tamponade 6 months prior to the definitive diagnosis of primary pericardial mesothelioma. A thorough literature search has not revealed a similar care. © 1995 Wi1ey‐Liss Inc.Keywords
