Accurate diagnosis and the surgical therapy is challenging for a mediastinal growth. After coronary artery graft surgery in 1982 and coronary reoperation in 1992, a patient was admitted for right atrial tumor. Echocardiography and MRI scan did not reveal precise tumor delineation. Histological studies proved a saphenous vein graft aneurysm.

Key Words: Venous bypass graft-aneurysm; Mediastinal mass; Cardiac tumor
