Pericardial cysts are uncommon masses and are the third most common cystic mass of the mediastinum. The majority are asymptomatic, however, they can be associated with serious complications such as cardiac tamponade, bronchial obstruction, or even sudden death.
An asymptomatic female patient, who was referred due to a chest radiograph showing cardiomegaly. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed an image consistent with a pericardial cyst, the diagnosis was confirmed with a magnetic resonance imaging.
Pericardial cysts may appear as an incidental finding in the chest radiograph, either computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging are useful to confirm the diagnosis.
心包囊肿是一种不常见的肿块,是纵隔内第三常见的囊性肿块。大多数心包囊肿是无症状的,但它们可能与严重并发症相关,如心脏压塞、支气管阻塞,甚至猝死。
一名无症状女性患者,因胸片显示心脏增大而被转介。经胸超声心动图显示与心包囊肿一致的图像,磁共振成像确诊了该疾病。
心包囊肿在胸部 X 线片上可能表现为偶然发现,计算机断层扫描或磁共振成像有助于确认诊断。
