To review historical medical literature on malignant pericardial disease and address the lack of a standardized classification system for these conditions.
Conducted a historical literature review of pericardial diseases documented since 1825.
Evaluated prior comprehensive studies, notably Douglas's 1906 analysis of intrathoracic growths, to distinguish primary from non-malignant pericardial conditions.
The vast majority of documented new growths originating in or involving the pericardium are non-malignant.
Primary malignancy arising directly from the pericardium is exceedingly rare, with only three definitive cases identified in historical medical literature.
