Abstract
Pericardial cysts are uncommon congenital abnormalities. Most are asymptomatic and are found incidentally on chest roentgenograms. Giant cysts are an even more uncommon finding, and reports of their natural history, presentation and management are few. In this report the authors describe a case of a giant pericardial cyst with symptoms of mediastinal compression for which the surgical excision guaranteed a 12-month follow-up of complete remission of the symptomatology.Entities:
