Abstract
A case of coronary angiodysplasia combining large aneurysms of epicardial a
rteries with diffuse malformation of intramural vessels is reported. Clinic
al presentation may mimic a vascularized cardiac tumor. Although leaking of
the aneurysms in the pericardial space may occur, this entity seems to hav
e a benign prognosis not requiring surgical repair.
