ABSTRACT
Pericardial cysts are rare, benign, and asymptomatic mediastinal masses. Most are found in the right cardiophrenic angle, they occur due to embryonic malformations and are found incidentally during complementary studies. Management may be conservative or surgical and is individualized according to the clinical presentation. We describe the case of a patient with a pericardial cyst in an unusual location, left cardiophrenic angle.
