Abstract
Malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium is a rare disorder with a worse outcome compared to the pleural presentation of the disease. All treatment modalities are usually palliative. Here we report a patient with malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium presenting with severe dyspnea and pericardial effusion who survived only 2 months despite aggressive treatment.
Keywords: Malign mesothelioma; pericardium; chemotherapy
Özet
Malign perikardiyal mezotelyoma plevral mezotelyoma ile karşılaştırıldığında nadir ve daha kötü seyirli bir hastalıktır. Tüm tedavi uygulamaları genellikle palyatif kalmaktadır. Bu makalede ciddi dispne ve perikardiyal effüzyon ile seyreden ve agresif tedaviye rağmen sadece 2 ay yaşayabilen bir malign perikardiyal mezotelyoma olgusu sunulmaktadır.
