Abstract EN
Malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium is a rare and fatal condition that clinicians should be aware of due to its variability of clinical manifestation.
The diagnosis may be delayed as a result of delayed treatment.
Here, we report two cases of malignant pericardial mesothelioma with two different clinical aspects: cardiac tamponade and mimic tuberculous pericarditis.
Both patients: may have indirect exposure to asbestos.
Despite chemotherapy, both patients died at 2 weeks and 3 months after the diagnosis.
Malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium is fatal, has a variety of presentation, and may not be related to asbestosis exposure.
