Abstract
Pericardial cysts, which are frequently detected incidentally on routine chest scans, are typically considered to be congenital anomalies. They are generally asymptomatic and have a good prognosis. Pericardial cysts are usually located in the cardiophrenic area, have a thin wall, contain clear fluid, and are often not associated with the pericardium. Although it has a low malignant potential, the recommended treatment for these lesions is total excision due to the risk of recurrence. A case of pericardial cyst detected incidentally and to excised with single incision video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SIVATS) is presented.
