Аннотация
RATIONALE: Pericardial cysts are a rare benign disorder with a variable clinical presentation depending on their size and location. The diagnosis of pericardial cysts is usually based on imaging examinations. The definitive treatment is surgical resection.
PATIENT CONCERN: A 36-year-old woman presented with progressive left-sided chest pain and exertional dyspnea, with symptoms resembling pleural effusion.
DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with a pericardial cyst based on imaging and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
INTERVENTION: VATS was performed.
OUTCOMES: The patient's symptoms improved after successful removal of the pericardial cyst. Follow-up chest computed tomography exhibited no evidence of recurrence.
LESSONS: Clinicians should include pericardial cysts in the differential diagnosis of pseudopleural effusion. VATS is a feasible and safe method to treat symptomatic and large pericardial cysts.
