¹ From the Department of Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York, New York.

This is a case report of sudden death in a 50 year old man with a history of recent onset of atypical anginal pain. Death appears to have been caused by a small papilloma attached by a pedicle to the edge of the right cusp of the aortic valve. This papilloma occluded the right coronary ostium in a heart with a predominant right coronary circulation.

Key Words: Angina • Right coronary ostium • Intermittent occlusion
