Sudden cardiac death is an unexpected clinical condition that typically occurs due to a cardiac cause, generally within 1 h of symptom onset, in people with known or unknown cardiac disease. Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma, as a cause of sudden death, is an uncommon consequence of a rare disease. Herein, we present a case of cardiac tamponade due to a primary pericardial mesothelioma. Cytological, histopathology and gross post-mortem findings, in a previously asymptomatic 46-old-year man, are reported. The medical literature regarding this topic is also reviewed.

Pericardial mesothelioma is a rare malignant tumor with atypical and nonspecific clinical manifestations. Therefore, the diagnosis of pericardial tumors is usually made in advanced stages, and there is currently no satisfactory treatment method, resulting in a low average survival period. In this case analysis, we report a case of a giant primary pericardial mesothelioma, describe its diagnosis and treatment, and discuss treatment methods for pericardial mesothelioma through a literature review.
