Pericardial cysts are rare mediastinal abnormalities. We report on a 54-year-old male, who was found to have a large right-sided pericardial cyst incidentally. Multiple imaging modalities including 2D echocardiography, contrast echocardiogram with DEFINITY, transesophageal echocardiography and CT scan were used to delineate the features of the pericardial cyst. Patient was asymptomatic and was managed conservatively.
