Abstract

Heart is a conical hollow muscular organ situated in middle mediastinum enclosed within the pericardium. It pumps blood
to various organs of the body to meet their nutritive requirements. Here we present a case of abnormal shaped heart
found in a middle aged male cadaver. The heart had an abnormal columnar shape with four surfaces. Three pulmonary
veins were normally presented but fourth one was rather comparatively very small. Such a noticeable change in shape of
heart can occur ante mortem or postmortem, causes for which are discussed further.
