Fig 1 A transthoracic echocardiographic image shows severe compression of the right ventricle and deviation of interventricular septum (white arrow) to the left by pericardial tumor (black arrows) in diastole. (IVS = interventricular septum; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle.)

Fig 2 A contrast-enhanced computed tomographic image shows the relationship of hypodense pericardial cyst (white arrow) with the right ventricle and atrium. Note that the pericardial cyst does not show an invasion through the anterior wall of the right ventricle (black arrow). (RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle.)
