Abstract
Although cardiac tamponade is a known complication of malignancy, it i s rarely the initial manifestation. We report a 46-year-old male who p resented with malignant cardiac tamponade 6 months prior to the defini tive diagnosis of primary pericardial mesothelima. A thorough literatu re search has not revealed a similar care. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
