Abstract
- Pericardial cyst is an uncommon congenital mediastinal tumor. The majority of pericardial cysts are located in the right cardiophrenic angle, but rarely they can be located intrapericardially. We now present a case of a huge intrapericardial pericardial cyst excised with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
