Abstract:
Heterotopias in the heart are rare findings. The present case report describes heterotopic liver tissue in the right cardiac auricle of a 20-year-old man who died of coarctation of the aorta, incidentally discovered at autopsy. Another abnormal finding was a horseshoe kidney. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first report of heterotopic liver tissue in the cardiac auricles.
