Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma (PMPM) is a rare tumor of the pericardium. The cause of this tumor is unknown and it has a very poor prognosis. Exposure to asbestos is correlated with the onset of pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma; however, the role of asbestos in pericardial mesothelioma is unclear. Here we highlight the radiological features of this rare tumor and its correlative pathological confirmation with the help of new immunohistochemical (IHC) markers.

原发性恶性心包间皮瘤（PMPM）是一种罕见的心包肿瘤。该肿瘤病因不明，预后极差。接触石棉与胸膜和腹膜间皮瘤的发病有关；然而，石棉在心包间皮瘤中的作用尚不清楚。在此，我们借助新的免疫组织化学（IHC）标记物，突出这种罕见肿瘤的放射学特征及其相关的病理证实。
