Successful resection of an epicardial cyst

Roberto Scrofani et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2002 May.

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.
