[Giant aneurysm of the right coronary artery].
BACKGROUND
Giant coronary aneurysms are rare and often confused with cardiac tumours.


METHODS
We report a new case of this type of aneurysm occurring on the right coronary artery revealed by a cardiac congestion.


CONCLUSIONS
These aneurysms can be due to inflammatory diseases or dysplasia. But in these pseudotumoral forms, atherosclerosis is the main aetiology. The diagnosis and treatment require surgery and histological examination.
