Accepted for publication July 7, 1995.

Pericardial cysts are most commonly incidental radiologic findings of little clinical consequence. We present the unusual history of 2 patients in whom pericardial cysts were of massive sizes and caused significant symptoms; in 1, progression of the cyst size had been documented over 25 years. Diagnostic difficulties encountered and the utility of video-assisted thoracoscopy are described.
