Trimodal therapy, which includes extrapleural pneumonectomy as the cytoreductive procedure followed by combination chemoradiotherapy, is becoming the standard of care in the treatment of malignant mesothelioma. We report here a case of hypotension secondary to tension hydrothorax in which echocardiography and hemodynamic monitoring demonstrated evidence of tamponade physiology. Thoracentesis was lifesaving.
