Abstract
A 72-year-old female, who had no asbestos exposure, felt chest pain. She was diagnosed with pericarditis. After 6 months, a follow-up chest computed tomography (CT) showed a thickened pericardium (Fig. 1(A) and (B)) and a positron emission tomography (PET) scan was positive along the pericardium (Fig. 1(C)). An open pericardial biopsy proved malignant pericardial mesothelioma (Fig. 2). www.elsevier.com/locate/ejcts European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 39 (2011) 420
