title: Aneurysmal and partially thrombosed orifice of a coronary artery fistula into the right atrium combined with patent foramen ovale.
abstract: We report a case of a right atrial sessile tumor combined with a patent foramen ovale and the characteristics of fat containing tumor in magnetic resonance imaging. Histologic study revealed this to be an aneurysmal and partially thrombosed formation of a coronary artery fistula.
