title: Pericardial cyst--a clinical case.
abstract: Pericardial cysts are uncommon and benign abnormalities, usually asymptomatic, whose main interest lies in differential diagnosis with other mediastinal tumors. The authors present a case report of a 40-year-old male with a symptomatic pericardial cyst, located in the left cardiophrenic angle, which was resected by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
