Abstract

Abstract: Of the primary cardiac tumors, well‐differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is very rare, with only one case report documenting WDPM of the pericardium. We report herein a 17‐year‐old boy who had an abnormal chest X‐ray on a routine college‐entrance examination. A giant cardiac tumor was detected by echocardiography. The neoplasm was partially resected, and histopathological examination revealed a WDPM. The patient recovered without any complication.
