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.
