A case of right atrium aneurysm (diverticulum) detected in an asymptomatic 61-year-old woman is described. Diagnosis was made according to echocardiographic and echocontrastographic findings and was confirmed by both angiographic data and surgical pathology. The rarity of this finding and the possibility of a correct non-invasive assessment can be considered the two most peculiar features of this case.
