AbstractA bronchogenic cyst in the left atrium is rare. We report the case of a 17-year-old male patient who was admitted to the emergency department because of severe chest pain and dyspnea. He was diagnosed using echocardiography and computed tomography, which revealed a huge cardiac tumour in the dome of the left atrium. He was surgically treated with tumour enucleation. The resultant atrial dome defect was reconstructed with a bovine pericardial patch. Pathologic investigation revealed that the tumour was a bronchogenic benign cyst.Copyright © 2020 Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
