A giant pericardial cyst in an unusual localization.
Pericardial cysts are rareand benign lesions of the heart. They are usually asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed on chest X-ray. Most are located at the right cardiophrenic angle. Life-threatening complications may be infrequently encountered. We report the case of a 54 year-old male with acute coronary syndrome and a pericardial cyst in an unusual localization.
