[Fibrous aortic valve tumor (Lambl's excrescence) trapped in the right coronary artery. Apropos of a case].
Lambl's excrescences are filliform 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 obstruction of the right coronary ostium by a valvular tumour. This was confirmed at surgery and tumorectomy was followed by regression of the anginal syndrome.
