Echocardiographic identification of a pericardial cyst.
The echocardiogram of a woman with an anterior mediastinal mass showed an echo-free space between the chest wall and the right ventricle. The interface of mass with pericardium was outlined by a narrow echo. These findings suggested a homogeneous fluid-filled, thin-walled sac. Postoperation, echocardiography was normal.
