A healthy 37 yr old female presented with recurrent right-sided chest pain which spontaneously disappeared. On a chest roentgenogram a lesion in the right cardiophrenic angle was found. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested a cystic structure. During thoracotomy a pericardial diverticulum was found. The pain was probably caused by intermittent volvulus of the diverticulum.
