Thrombosed giant coronary artery aneurysm presenting as an intracardiac mass

Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare in adults and are usually found in association with Kawasaki’s disease arising in childhood. We report a case of a thrombosed giant right coronary artery aneurysm presenting as an intracardiac mass detected after inferior wall myocardial infarction. Histologi...

Zusammenfassung:	Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare in adults and are usually found in association with Kawasaki’s disease arising in childhood. We report a case of a thrombosed giant right coronary artery aneurysm presenting as an intracardiac mass detected after inferior wall myocardial infarction. Histologic analysis indicated that fibromuscular dysplasia was the underlying cause of the aneurysm.
