ABSTRACT
The authors present a case of an 11-year-old boy with a history of mild asthma and cough who underwent radiographic examination of the chest. The radiograph showed a round, discrete mass in the right cardiophrenic angle. The patient underwent thoracoscopic excision, and histologic examination found a unilocular, pericardial cyst. The possible causes of mediastinal masses and an argument for their surgical removal is presented.
