Wandering pleuropericardial cyst

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2006 Mar-Apr;30(2):276-8. doi: 10.1097/00004728-200603000-00021.

Abstract

Change in position of a chest mass is considered virtually pathognomonic of a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura. Rarely, however, a pleuropericardial cyst may manifest as a mobile chest lesion. The computed tomography appearance and imaging characteristics of a "wandering" pleuropericardial cyst are discussed.
