Abstract
We present a case of 73 year-old patient who underwent coronary angiography due to suspicion of acute coronary syndrome without persistent ST segment elevation. The angiographic result showed no lesions that could cause recurrent chest pain,but it also revealed a seldom coronary artery abnormality — left coronary artery arising from right coronary sinus. Performedcomputed tomography of the chest confirmed the result of the coronarography. But apart from that it found the signs ofneoplastic disease which was probably responsible for clinical presentation.
