Abstract
Lambl's excrescences are filiform aortic or mitral valve tumours. They do not usually cause any clinical problems and are autopsy findings. The authors report a case of a 64 year old female with an invalidating angina in whom echo and angiographic investigations suggested obstruc tion of the right coronary ostium by a valvular tumour. This was confi rmed at surgery and tumorectomy was followed by regression of the angi nal syndrome.
