Abstract
We have presented above the case history and the post mortem and anatomical findings in a case of a 52 year old white male. In this instance the pericardial cyst was not suspected clinically because of complete absence of symptoms. On post mortem review of chest x-ray films there was no evidence of the presence of such a cyst. We feel the unusual feature of this case is the presence of a cyst as large as this one without the production of sufficient changes on chest x-ray examination, to permit diagnosis. Undoubtedly, this may be attributed to similar densities of lung and cyst and to the presence of overlying pulmonary tissue which produced apparently normal lung markings in the area occupied by the cyst.
