“…Asymptomatic patients should be followed up to ensure a benign disease course and to monitor for possible symptom occurrence. Common symptoms are recurrent chest pain, shortness of breath or cough, dysphagia, albeit some cysts can also lead to rare complications, as cardiac compression, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, rupture and tamponade, cyst infection, pneumothorax, atrial fibrillation, or even sudden death [3].…”

The reported annals incidence of pericardial cysts (PC) in medical literature varies from 1/100000 to 1/120000. They are usually incidentally found during a thoracic or cardiac surgery or by an imaging modality by chance or remain clinically asymptomatic until the 3rd or 4th decades of life. However, in rare cases, compression or rupture of cysts into the surrounding structures, lead to the appearance of symptoms that may further be diagnosed by imaging modalities. We report the case of a 35-year-old man, with presentation of palpitation and chest pain and dyspnea. A transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and computed tomography (CT scan) confirmed the presence of a cystic lesion the in right lower cardiac border. With the impression of a hydatid cyst, he has undergone open cardiac surgery and during mediastinal exploration a well-defined cyst filled with pasty and thrombotic materials was found intrapericardialy that was attached to the right atrial wall. The cyst with the inflammatory thick wall was enblockly resected. In the histological examination, diagnosis of pericardial cyst was confirmed. The postoperative phase was uneventful and during 6 months of follow-up he was good with no pericardial effusion on TEE.

“…Intensive follow-up program is recommended for asymptomatic patients. Large sized, symptomatic and/or complicated cysts or those carrying suspicion of malignancy may be resected [7][8][9] . This case demonstrates the importance of pericardial cysts and its rare complications such as cardiac compression and shortness of breath.…”

A 51-year-old man presented to our outpatient clinic with symptoms of atypical chest pain and shortness of breath. His medical history, physical examination and electrocardiography findings were unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed normal valvular functions, normal-sized cardiac chambers, and left ventricular ejection fraction was 67% as calculated based on modified Simpson's method. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography subcostal view showed an echo-free space next to the right atrium at the right cardiophrenic angle (Figure 1). Continuous wave Doppler echocardiography demonstrated respiratory changes in right ventricular diastolic filling, increased respiratory variations in transtricuspid diastolic flow and dilated inferior vena cava due to severe right atrial compression by a giant pericardial cyst. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an oval mass in the right cardiophrenic angle measuring 8.2 × 5.1 × 6.4 cm with low intensity on T1-weighted images and homogeneous high intensity on T2-weighted images without contrast enhancement consistent with pericardial cyst (Figures 2a-d). The patient was referred to cardiothoracic surgery. After general anaesthesia and a right-sided thoracotomy, the pericar- alındığı tarih:
