Pericardial mesothelioma is the least common form of mesothelioma. Only about 5% of cases of pericardial mesothelioma. This type of disease affects the pericardium, which is a membranous lining around the heart, as the provision of support and protection for the organ. When asbestos fibers are deposited in the membrane surrounding the heart, can not be eliminated by the body. These fibers then begin to cause changes in the pericardial membrane. While the exact nature of these changes is not fully understood, it is known that these changes eventually lead to uncontrolled growth of cells in the pericardial layers, causing the disease to form malignant tumors.
The rarity of pericardial mesothelioma has been difficult for experts to identify the specific set of common symptoms. The following symptoms often indicate a state of heart, but further studies are required to confirm the diagnosis of pericardial mesothelioma : Pain in the chest,Irregular heartbeat and Heart palpitations
