摘要
Primary pericardial mesothelioma is an extremely rare malignancy. We report a case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with fever and fatigue. She had no apparent history of occupational or incidental exposure to asbestos. A postcontrast-enhanced chest CT revealed a 77 x 56-mm mass lesion in the pericardium. The FDG PET/CT was carried out, which demonstrated an intense FDG uptake to a main pericardial tumor and disseminated lesions in the pericardium. Histologic examination confirmed the primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma.
