We present a unique case of massive intrapericardial cyst manifesting as chronic cough, which highlights the unique presentation of this rare condition. Although uncommon, intrapericardial cyst should be considered in cases of chronic, non-productive cough, especially in the absence of lung pathology. The role of multi-modality imaging remains essential for early detection of the condition and monitoring for potential complications.
