Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma is a rare cardiac neoplasm. The authors evaluated risk factors, clinical presentation, and outcomes by reviewing all biopsy-confirmed cases at one institution. The use of multimodality imaging, detailed hemodynamic assessment for the presence of an effusive-constrictive profile, and cytology evaluation can support the diagnosis. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
