Imaging findings
Chest CT shows a multi-lobed, fluid-attenuation structure located in the right cardiophrenic space, associated with mild surrounding pericardial thickening and fat stranding representing focal inflammation.
Key takeaways
Pericardial cysts are benign congenital anomalies that typically occur at the right cardiophrenic angle. Although usually asymptomatic, they can occasionally cause chest pain due to focal inflammation or superinfection.
