Enteric cyst with epicardial attachment to the left ventricle

Enteric cysts result from an anomaly of embryonic foregut development. In adults, these are frequently asymptomatic. The following is a case of an enteric cyst identified during routine coronary artery bypass attached directly to the epicardium of the left ventricle, a finding not previously reported. Approaches to the treatment of this rare lesion vary. Due to the patientʹs history of breast cancer, the lesion was excised for histopathological diagnosis.
