  • Title: [Video-assisted thoracoscopical surgery for pericardial cyst: report of two cases].
    Author: Umemori Y, Kotani K, Makihara S.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2001 Dec; 54(13):1125-7. PubMed ID: 11761899.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of pericardial cyst are reported. Case 1: A 51-year-old man, was admitted to the hospital because of an abnormal shadow on a chest CT scan. We confirmed a cystic mediastinal tumor situated between the superior vena cava and azygos vein. The cystic tumor was excised with a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical procedure. Histopathological examination revealed a mesothelial-lined structure. Patient 2, a 34-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of an abnormal shadow on a chest radiographic film. Chest CT scan showed a cystic mediastinal tumor. The cystic tumor was excised with a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical procedure. Histopathological examination revealed a mesothelial-lined structure. We would recommend video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery which is of great value in the treatment of pericardial cyst.
