“Bronchogenic Cyst Impersonating a Pericardial Lesion”: A Case Report

A 32-year-old female patient presented with palpitations and chest discomfort. The patient had a history of pericardiotomy due to pericardial effusion. Multimodal imaging, including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were used showing a pericardial cyst as the cause of the symptoms. Furthermore its location and potential complications were accurately defined. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the cyst, and histopathological analysis confirmed a bronchogenic cyst, a very rare congenital malformation. The article discusses the rarity of bronchogenic cysts in the pericardium and the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
