Summary:We present a clinical case describing diagnosis and surgical treatment of a patient with atypically located fibroma – in the inferior vena cava and right atrium. Modern means of ultrasound heart examinations were demonstrated as well. We consider echocardiography to be the method of choice for present time as this means is safe, reliable and available.

In the present literature resources we were not able to find any other case with a heart fibroma with such atypical location and structure.
