Giant coronary aneurysms are rare and often confused with cardiac tumours. We report a new case of this type of aneurysm occurring on the right coronary artery revealed by a cardiac congestion. These aneurysms can be due to inflammatory diseases or dysplasia. But in these pseudotumoral forms, athero...

Zusammenfassung:	Giant coronary aneurysms are rare and often confused with cardiac tumours.
