title: Thoracoscopic resection of unusual symptomatic pericardial cysts.
abstract: Pericardial cysts are mediastinal tumors that usually have a benign course. Diagnostic and therapeutic thoracoscopy are warranted for suspect mediastinal masses, unsuccessful nondiagnostic less invasive procedures, and symptomatic unusually located pericardial cysts. We report a case of thoracoscopic resection of symptomatic pericardial cysts.
