Key result
Open surgery established the histopathological diagnosis of a rare pericardial pseudocyst with a horseshoe configuration along the atrioventricular groove in a middle-aged patient.
Why the study?
Pericardial cystic lesions are rare congenital or acquired lesions, prompting a report to highlight imaging differentials and histopathological features of a pericardial pseudocyst.

Adds rare horseshoe pericardial pseudocyst to AV groove differential; leaves optimal diagnosis and management open.
Cystic lesions in relation to the pericardium are a rare congenital lesion with an estimated incidence of 1 per 100,,000. Pericardial cysts may be classified as congenital or acquired. Here, we present a case of a pericardial pseudocyst having a horseshoe configuration along the atrioventricular groove in a middle-aged subject with no previous relevant medical history. The patient underwent open surgery for the same with histopathological diagnosis being established. This paper highlights the differentials for a cystic pericardial lesion in imaging in addition to the histopathological entity of a pericardial pseudocyst.
