Pericardial cysts are rare, benign growths often found near the heart. This study highlights three mediastinal cyst cases, emphasizing their inclusion in diagnosing mediastinal masses.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Pericardial cysts are uncommon, benign outpouchings of the pericardium.
  • They are typically located in the cardiophrenic angles but can occur elsewhere in the mediastinum.

Observation:

  • The study presents three cases of patients diagnosed with mediastinal pericardial cysts.
  • Clinical presentation and imaging findings varied among the cases.

Findings:

  • Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pericardial cyst in all presented cases.
  • These cysts, though rare, represent a distinct entity within mediastinal masses.

Implications:

  • Pericardial cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses.
