A recurrent pericardial cyst manifested as an enlarging cardiophrenic cyst and was reexcised with the aid of video-assisted thoracic surgery. Video-assisted thoracic surgical excision can be a safe and effective approach, but complete excision should be performed to avoid recurrence.

Key Words: recurrent pericardial cyst • video-assisted thoracic surgery
