Pericardial cysts are uncommon congenital abnormalities. Most are asymptomatic and are found incidentally on chest roentgenograms. Giant cysts are an even more uncommon finding, and reports of their natural history, presentation and management are few. In this report the authors describe a case of a giant pericardial cyst with symptoms of mediastinal compression for which the surgical excision guaranteed a 12-month follow-up of complete remission of the symptomatology.
心包囊肿是罕见的先天性异常。大多数无症状，在胸部X线片上偶然发现。巨大囊肿更是少见，关于其自然史、表现和治疗的报道很少。在本报告中，作者描述了一例巨大心包囊肿伴有纵隔压迫症状的病例，手术切除后对其进行了为期12个月的随访，症状完全缓解。
