Imaging findings
Chest radiograph shows a right cardiophrenic angle mass. CT confirms a Morgagni hernia containing mesenteric fat herniating into the right anterior chest through a defect in the anterior diaphragm.
Key takeaways
Morgagni hernias are congenital diaphragmatic hernias that occur anteriorly and medially. They typically contain omental/mesenteric fat and can simulate a cardiophrenic angle mass or pericardial cyst on radiographs.
