“…PPCs are usually congenital in origin but other causes such as inflammation (rheumatic pericarditis, bacterial infection particularly tuberculosis, echinococcosis), trauma, post cardiac surgery and chronic haemodialysis [12][13][14][15][16][17] have been reported. Congenital PPCs usually originate from failure of fusion of one of the mesenchymal lacunae that form the pericardial sac, during embryogenesis after the third week of gestation 6,18 .…”

“…These are primarily congenital anomalies, with an estimated incidence of 1:100 000 persons, which occur because of the incomplete separation of the pericardial coelom after the third week of gestation [ 2 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. However, inflammatory cysts may also occur in the context of tuberculosis, echinococcosis, rheumatic pericarditis, trauma, including cardiothoracic surgery, or in patients on chronic hemodialysis, in exceptional cases [ 5 , 9 , 10 ].…”

“…1 Cysts containing clear fluid have a simple fibrous tissue wall lined with cuboidal mesothelial cells, and a low malignant potential. 2 Although they are rarely observed, these congenital cysts can be seen after cardiothoracic surgery, pericarditis and trauma or in chronic hemodialysis patients. 2 The incidence of pericardial cysts is 1 in 100000, and it constitutes 33% of all mediastinal cysts and 7% of mediastinal masses, and is seen in almost every age group.…”
