Özet
Pericardial cysts are uncommon benign abnormalities and are most often found in either cardiophrenic angle. We present the cases of 3 patients with a cyst in the mediastinum and review the literature. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pericardial cyst. Clinicians should include pericardial cyst in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses. © 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
