Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma (PMPM) is an extremely rare tumor, which may appear as a localized or a diffuse mass encasing the heart. Diffuse PMPMs have a poor prognosis due to the difficulty of surgical excision, whereas localized PMPMs have clear margins, thus facilitating surgical excision. Timely diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial for a favorable prognosis. Eight cases of localized PMPMs have been reported so far, but their characteristics have not been fully described. Herein, we present a patient with localized PMPM and describe the diagnosis methods, treatment, and outcomes of these tumors.
原发性恶性心包间皮瘤（PMPM）是一种极其罕见的肿瘤，可表现为包裹心脏的局限性或弥漫性肿块。弥漫性PMPM由于手术切除困难，预后较差，而局限性PMPM边界清晰，便于手术切除。及时诊断和恰当治疗对良好预后至关重要。迄今为止，已报道8例局限性PMPM，但对其特征尚未进行充分描述。在此，我们报告1例局限性PMPM患者，并描述这些肿瘤的诊断方法、治疗及结果。
