Abstract:
An asymptomatic thyroid cardiac tumour was discovered in the right ventricular infundibulum of a 63-year-old female investigated for angina. The results of the investigation are presented: coronary angiography, echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, resting radioactive 201-thallium scintigraphy, dipyridamole-thallium scintigraphy, nuclear isotopic ventriculography. The tumour was successfully removed at surgery for coronary bypass. Anatomopathological description is also included.
