Atipik lokalizasyonlu perikardial kist: Olgu sunumu

Konjenital ya da edinsel orijinli olabilen perikardial kistlerin mediastinal kitleler içinde insidansı %7'dir. Çoğunluğu sağ ön kardiofrenik açıda yer alan, visköz veya yüksek dansiteli materyal ile dolunca bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) solid kitleyi taklit edebilen perikardial kistlerde, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG), lokalizasyon ve tanı yanısıra kist içeriğinin karakterizasyonunda da değerlidir. Bu olgu sunumunda, atipik lokalizasyonda, BT'de yüksek atenüasyon değerlerine sahip bir perikardial kist olgusunun akciğer grafisi, BTve MRG bulguları sunulmaktadır.

Atypically located pericardial cyst: A case report

Pericardial cysts, which may be either congenital or acquired, have an incidence of 7 % among mediastinal masses. They are mostly located in the right anterior cardiophrenic angle. On computerized tomography (CT), when filled with viscous or high density material, the cyst may mimic a solid mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is valuable not only in the localization and diagnosis but also in the characterization of the cystic content. In this case report, the chest X-ray, CT and MRI findings of an atypically located pericardial cyst are discussed.
