Pericardial calcification does not rule out rapidly developing primary pericardial mesothelioma, highlighting the importance of understanding its radiological features to prevent misdiagnosis.
We report this case to highlight the rare finding of pericardial calcification in patients with primary pericardial mesothelioma. This case illustrated that confirmation of pericardial calcification cannot completely rule out rapidly developing PPM. Therefore, understanding the different radiological features of PPM can help to reduce its rate of early misdiagnosis.
