“…1 These cysts are usually classified into two categories: congenital and acquired. 2 We report a case of 62-year-old male with a history of large right-sided pericardial cyst who presented with chest discomfort, new-onset of shortness of breath, and bilateral leg swelling. Recent chest computed tomography (CT) performed to exclude pulmonary embolism prior to the current presentation, demonstrated a right-sided pericardial cyst measuring 8.7 × 2.5 cm which was enlarging, in comparison to a prior CT (dimensions 7.3 × 1.7 cm).…”

Pericardial cysts are considered rare incidental findings, which are generally asymptomatic in nature. Occasionally, patients may represent with chest discomfort, dyspnea, or palpitations. Pericarditis related to a ruptured pericardial cyst has not been previously reported in the literature. Here, we report the case of a 62‐year‐old man who developed acute pericarditis as a result of a ruptured enlarging pericardial cyst.

We present a unique case of massive intrapericardial cyst manifesting as chronic cough, which highlights the unique presentation of this rare condition. Although uncommon, intrapericardial cyst should be considered in cases of chronic, non-productive cough, especially in the absence of lung pathology. The role of multi-modality imaging remains essential for early detection of the condition and monitoring for potential complications.

“…Los quistes y divertículos pericárdicos son una entidad benigna e infrecuente (incidencia, 1:100.000) que supone el 6% de las masas mediastínicas 1 , 5 , 6 . Suelen ser de origen congénito y en menor proporción son adquiridos con origen inflamatorio 5 . La localización más frecuente es sobre el ángulo cardiofrénico derecho (51-70%), seguida del izquierdo (28-38%) y es rara su localización en el mediastino superior 5 .…”
