Primary cysts of the pericardium are uncommon, benign developmental anomaly. Most are asymptomatic and a common incidental finding on routine chest radiograph. We report a case of large pericardial cyst presenting with severe excruciating chest pain in a Nigerian man. To the best of our knowledge, no such report has emanated from the country.
原发性心包囊肿是一种罕见的良性发育异常。大多数患者无症状,常在常规胸部X线检查时偶然发现。我们报告一例在一名尼日利亚男性中出现的巨大心包囊肿,伴有严重的胸痛。据我们所知,该国尚无此类报告。
