[Leiomyo-fibro-angiomatous hamartoma of the myocardium].

Casuistic report on an intramural hamartoma of the size of a walnut in the left ventricle consisting of fibrous connective tissue, vessels and smooth musculature which was found as secondary findings in the autopsy of a 76-year-old man. With the help of statistic material from literature is referred to the rarity of primary cardiac tumours. On the basis of other casuistic contributions of newer literature is referred to the clinical significance which cardiac tumors may have in adequate localisation as well as sufficient size.
