Pericardial Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Pericardial mesothelioma is an uncommon form of mesothelioma that occurs in the heart's lining (pericardium). This type of mesothelioma typically results in symptoms such as chest pain or fatigue that may be similar to other health conditions.
It can take a long time for symptoms to show up after asbestos exposure. This makes a diagnosis difficult. The best way to make an accurate diagnosis is for patients to discuss their experience of asbestos exposure with their doctor.
What causes pericardial mesothelioma?
Pericardial mesothelioma develops in the thin membrane that surrounds the heart, referred to as the pericardium. This is a rare type of mesothelioma, which can be found in 1% to 2 percent of all cases. As with all types of mesothelioma pericardial is also connected to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, was used for decades in a myriad of commercial and household items. The toxic fibers can be swallowed or inhaled, and can be caught in the lining of the chest or abdominal cavities. Mesothelioma develops when the fibrils get irritated and develop into tumors that spread to other parts of the body.
Doctors have only identified a link between asbestos exposure and pericardial mesothelioma only in a handful of cases. They do not yet know exactly how asbestos contributes to the development of this cancer in the pericardium, but they know that it happens in about 25% of patients diagnosed with mesothelioma. This is partly due to the fact that it is usually diagnosed decades after asbestos exposure.
The majority of people exposed to asbestos develop pleural msothelioma. The cancer develops in the lining of the lungs and chest wall. It is also possible to develop testicular or peritoneal mesothelioma within male testes. It can be difficult to determine if pericardial msothelioma is when the symptoms are similar to other heart problems.
Symptoms of pericardial mesothelioma tend to appear slowly and can affect the ability to breathe. The symptoms may include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and the accumulation of fluid around the heart, which is known as pericardial effusion. A doctor can diagnose this condition through an echocardiogram which is an ultrasound of the heart or the pericardial biopsy.
A mesothelioma specialist will determine if a patient suffers from this rare form of the disease and assist them in finding the best treatment. In addition to asbestos litigation exposure, other factors that can increase the risk of developing pericardial mesothelioma include genetics and an impaired immune system, and radiation exposure. Those with a family history of mesothelioma have a higher risk, too.
Signs and symptoms
As with other mesothelioma types, pericardial mesothelioma is a result of asbestos fibers reach the tissue that surrounds the heart. This rare form of cancer, which accounts for less than 1 % of all malignant mesothelioma cases is most often discovered in those who were exposed to asbestos in their workplace or living with someone who was affected by asbestos law. Pericardial mesothelioma symptoms can vary and mimic other conditions and make it difficult to determine the cause.
When asbestos particles adhere to the pericardium lining, they can cause tumors to develop and thicken the membrane. It is thought that this is the reason for mesothelioma of the pericardium, but doctors aren't aware of how it develops. The majority of doctors believe that the cancer spread from another part of the body such as the abdomen, lungs (peritoneum), and then to the lining inside the heart.
The mesothelium is the lining for both the abdomen and chest. This is where the majority of mesothelioma tumors develop. The disease can also start in the peritoneal lining or in the testicles though this is far less frequent.
After exposure to asbestos, mesothelioma symptoms can take years to show up. The symptoms may be similar to those of other illnesses such as chest pain, difficulty breathing and fatigue, as well as weight loss. In certain cases, pericardial msothelioma can cause clubbing. This is a condition where the fingers swell up and look rounder than normal.
Doctors diagnose mesothelioma of the pericardium by looking at the patient's medical background. They will ask about past exposure to asbestos and perform imaging tests, like x-rays, CT scans and an echocardiogram to check the pericardium. To make sure they are able to determine the cause, they will also take an x-ray or a sample of tissue.

The exact cause of mesothelioma pericardial remains unclear however, doctors believe that it is caused by asbestos fibers that migrate from the lungs to the pericardium and cause irritation to the tissue that is there. Over time the tissues affected by irritation transform into cancerous cells which develop into tumors. Because of tumors, fluid accumulates around the organ. This pressure causes symptoms.
Typically, doctors first perform imaging tests such as X-rays and CT scans to detect abnormal fluids or tumors. Then, they run blood tests to confirm the presence of mesothelioma as well as determine the extent of any spreading of the cancerous cells.
Mesothelioma patients should also be prepared to discuss their occupational medical history with a doctor. Asbestos workers are at a higher risk of developing asbestos-related diseases such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.

It could take up to 60 years for asbestos fibers to reach the lining of the heart and cause cancerous cells to develop. Due to this long latency period, it is essential for anyone suffering from mesothelioma-related symptoms to consult a physician immediately. It is also essential to be upfront about their prior exposure to asbestos in order to receive the best treatment.
Pericardial mesothelioma is among the mesothelioma forms that are rare and is the reason for only 1% of all mesothelioma cases diagnosed. This is due in part to the difficulty in diagnosing this condition since it may be similar to other heart diseases and signs.
A physician will first examine the patient and observe their heartbeat and breathing. The doctor might also request an CT or MRI scan of the chest in order to look for tumors and areas of swelling. If they detect fluid in the pericardium, they will order an echocardiogram. This will be used to evaluate the heart's function and see whether the lining of the heart has thickened.
After the doctor has determined there is a tumor or fluid buildup in the pericardium, they will perform a biopsy in order to confirm their diagnosis and determine if it is malignant. In the course of the biopsy, doctors will remove small samples of fluid or tissue and send them to a lab for further analysis.
Many victims of pericardial sarcoidosis are not able to survive due to the fact that the treatment options are less than for other kinds. New treatment methods are being researched to offer better outcomes for patients. One of these is gene therapy, which is the process of adding or removing genes from the body of a person in order to fight certain diseases. Immunotherapy is another option which aims at training an individual's immunity to fight cancer.
