Abstract:
Cases of pericardial cyst have been reported by many authors, but the incidence of epicardial cyst originating directly from the epicardium in the pericardial cavity is extremely rare. A case of successful resection of epicardial cyst fortuitously discovered and diagnosed during cardiac operation is presented.
