title: [A large asymptomatic pericardial cyst in the apical region].
abstract: We presented a case of the large asymptomatic pericardial cyst localised near cardiac apex, filled with fluid of water-  -equivalent density. The cyst was detected accidentally during transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by 64-slice  multi-detector computed tomography. Repeated transthoracic echocardiography was recommened.
