Abstract

We describe the incidental finding and treatment of a very rare and voluminous cardiac tumour located near to the pulmonary infundibulum. The mass was surgically resected and final diagnosis was hamartoma of mature cardiac myocytes. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient is asymptomatic after six months of follow-up.
