Abstract
Two tumors of the right ventricle detected and removed sequentially in a boy with a secondary atrial septal defect at the age of 8 and 24 months are described. The first tumor had macro – and microscopic structure of papillary fibroelastoma, the second – cavernous hemangioma with papillary fibroelastoma papillaries in cavernous structures. There is no description of such a combination of heart tumors in the available literature.
