Abstract

Intracardiac bronchogenic cyst is a rare congenital anomaly. This tumor is usually found in the mediastinum (12% to 18% of all primary mediastinal masses) or in the lung parenchyma (15% to 30% of them). Although rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of intracardiac tumors. Complete resection is recommended for diagnosis and for therapeutic reasons. We present here a rare case of an intracardiac left ventricular bronchogenic cyst in an asymptomatic 41-year-old woman.
