A case of malignant mesothelioma originated from pericardium was reported. A 76 year-old male who complained of dyspnea showed cardiomegaly (CTR = 68%) and bilateral pleural effusion in chest plain X-ray film. Gallium-67 (67Ga) scintigraphy revealed doughnut-like accumulation on cardiac apical site and mediastinal accumulation. Cytological examination of pericardial effusion revealed class V. Autopsy confirmed diagnosis of malignant pericardial mesothelioma. 67Ga scintigraphy may be useful in diagnosis of malignant pericardial mesothelioma.
