A 47-year-old female who had removal of pericardial cyst is reported. Preoperative examination including echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated the cystic nature of the mass attaching to the right pericardial surface. MRI clearly revealed that the cyst was bilocular. MRI brings a more detailed information of pericardial cyst for surgery.
