How to diagnose and differentiate pericardial cyst?

summary

Most of them are located in the anterior and middle mediastinum, with clear outline and sharp edge, but the density is not uniform in words and deeds. The secondary infection of bronchopulmonary cyst containing fluid and pericardial cyst are different. What are the common inspection items of pericardial cyst. And how to diagnose and differentiate pericardial cyst, pericardial cyst is easy to confuse disease and so on. Also known as mesothelial cyst, pericardial cyst, pleural pericardial cyst, mediastinal water cyst or mediastinal simple cyst. However, pericardial cyst without respiratory symptoms, such as expectoration of pus and stinky sputum, is the main identification point. Epidermoid cyst commonly occurs on the high side, which is basically limited to the anterior mediastinum. Let's take a look at the following.

How to diagnose and differentiate pericardial cyst?

First, pericardial cyst is a kind of congenital mediastinal cyst occurring in the pericardium. It occurs in the bronchi and around the bronchi. It is round or oval in shape. The density of water sample is uniform. The edge is smooth and sharp. It connects with the bronchi and can change with the size of breathing. Pericardial cyst is a common benign tumor of the heart, most of which are asymptomatic and usually found during examination. But if the cyst is too large, it may compress the heart and affect health,

Second, pericardial cysts are located in the right septal angle, and the rest in the left diaphragmatic angle and postcardial area. Therefore, it can be seen in all parts of the mediastinum, mostly in the middle and upper part of the anterior mediastinum. The size of the mass is different, and it can be single cell or multi cell or honeycomb. It can be divided into neck mediastinum type, axillary mediastinum type, and it tends to occur in the bronchi and around the bronchi. It is round or oval, with uniform water density, smooth and sharp edge. It can be connected with the bronchi and can change with the size of breathing.

Third, it may be related to the obstruction of lymphatic return caused by abnormal anastomosis of lymphatic vessels and systemic veins. It may also come from the cervical lymphatic primordium, which is brought into the chest when the pericardium descends. When the lung is invaded and connected with the bronchus, sebum like substance or hair can be coughed up. Diagnostic puncture can also find yellow, brown or white transparent sebum like material.

matters needing attention

Also known as mesothelial cyst, pericardial cyst, pleural pericardial cyst, mediastinal water cyst or mediastinal simple cyst. Pericardial cyst has the symptoms of pericardial cyst. Angiocardiography can exclude cardiac swelling tumor or aneurysm. CT or ultrasound examination can help to differentiate pericardial fat pad, thymoma, diaphragm tumor and other diseases.
