We report a rare case of constrictive pericarditis that stimulated a large mediastinal tumor obstructing the right ventricular inflow tract. A 58-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a recent increase of dyspnea and facial edema. Computed tomography revealed severely thickened calcification, including a low-density area, presenting as a mediastinal tumor, compressing the right ventricular inflow tract. A complete resection was performed, and her symptoms dramatically improved. Idiopathic constrictive pericarditis was diagnosed pathologically.
