Discussion

CT may differentiate pericardial effusion mimics from mediastinal masses; case report leaves broader utility open.

Population

1 patient with a remarkably distended pericardial recess due to massive pericardial effusion mimicking a mediastinal mass

Intervention

CT evaluation and removal of pericardial effusions

Outcome

Identification of the nature of the mass lesion
