“…Hemoptysis, syncope, and fever are uncommon presentations and might indicate a local complication. Cyst rupture, cardiac tamponade, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and obstruction of the right main bronchus can be considered possible complications at a glance (1,2,4). In our patient, mild symptoms and pulmonary auscultation findings necessitated a chest X-ray and diagnostic workup was started henceforward.…”

“…The cavity is filled with a clear fluid. The most common locations of these benign cysts are both (mainly right) cardiophrenic angles (1,2,4). Most of these lesions range between 1 and 5 cm in diameter, but rarely cysts measuring over 20 cm have also been reported in the literature (4).…”

Introduction: Pericardial cysts are rare abnormalities of the mediastinum and generally have a benign course. Patients are mostly asymptomatic, and diagnosis is established incidentally in a majority of cases. The management of this asymptomatic population is also controversial. Case Report: We report a huge pericardial cyst, located at the right cardiophrenic angle impairing ventricular filling properties without causing evident symptoms. The cyst was almost 13 cm in the largest diameter. Echocardiography and computed tomography scan were utilized not only to confirm the diagnosis, but also to determine the treatment strategy. Conclusions: Surgical or percutaneous interventional treatment for pericardial cysts might be occasionally necessary, depending on the location of the cyst and its relationship with the adjacent structures. Unfortunately, our patient refused any kind of treatment option. Based on this report, the course of the disease, diagnostic modalities, and treatment strategies in general manner were additionally discussed.

Pericardial cysts are rare benign lesions of the thoracic cavity and are mostly congenital anomalies. They are induced by an incomplete coalescence of foetal lacunae during the development of the pericardium. Pericardial cysts are usually unilocular, well marginated spherical or teardrop shaped and may be attached to the pericardium directly or by a pedicle. Of all pericardial cysts, 70 to 75% are located at the right cardiophrenic angle. We report a case that was incidentally diagnosed with only chest magnetic resonance imaging because of a paracardiac mass. In order to prevent complications, the giant pericardial cyst was excised outside of the pericardium with median sternotomy
