Abstract
The differential diagnosis of pericardial diverticulum or cyst is a broad one. Its importance stems from the more malignant lesions that it may mimic. A change in size and shape, or disappearance of the mass will often mean pericardial diverticulum. Both pericardial cyst and diverticulum tend to blend with the cardiac contour. The picture can vary considerably, however, thus leading most often to thoracotomy.
