Pericardial malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare tumour which accounts for about 1% of all mesotheliomas, 4% of the primary heart and pericardial tumours. It carries an extremely poor prognosis, with a reported overall survival of less than 6 months. Clinical symptoms and signs are frequently nonspecific, and the diagnosis is usually made after surgery or at autopsy. We report a case of a 72 years old woman with primary pericardial malignant mesothelioma involving the right atrium. Nine months following surgery, the patient is alive with good performance status.
心包恶性间皮瘤（MM）是一种罕见肿瘤，约占所有间皮瘤的1%，原发性心脏和心包肿瘤的4%。其预后极差，据报道总体生存期不足6个月。临床症状和体征常常不具有特异性，诊断通常在手术后或尸检时做出。我们报告一例72岁女性原发性心包恶性间皮瘤累及右心房的病例。术后9个月，患者存活且身体状况良好。
