Indian J Radiol Imaging. 2008 Nov;18(4):319-21. doi: 10.4103/0971-3026.40956.

Abstract

A 25-year old man presented with a mediastinal lesion which was initially diagnosed as a loculated pericardial collection on echocardiography. Subsequent imaging showed it to be a cystic mediastinal mass, and following surgery and histopathology, it turned out to be an epidermoid cyst.
