Coronary artery aneurysms mimicking cardiac tumor

Ole-Gunnar Anfinsen et al. Eur J Echocardiogr. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

Aims: To discuss the diagnosis of giant coronary aneurysms.

Methods and results: We describe three patients in whom initial echocardiographic findings suggested cardiac tumors in the right atrium. Additional examination proved the tumor-like structures to be giant atherosclerotic coronary aneurysms of either the right coronary artery or its saphenous vein coronary bypass graft.

Conclusion: Giant coronary aneurysms are an important differential diagnosis for cardiac tumors.
