RESUMO
Cistos pericárdicos são raros, comumente congênitos, com localização mais frequente no ângulo cardiofrênico direito. O diagnóstico é suspeitado pela radiografia de tórax anormal. O presente relato descreve um caso de cisto pericárdico com aspecto radiográfico atípico, em um paciente atleta, manifestando-se clinicamente com sintomas de insuficiência ventricular direita. O diagnóstico foi sugerido pelo ecocardiograma transesofágico e confirmado pelo estudo anatomopatológico.
