Özet

A pentacuspid pulmonary valve is a rare congenital anomaly. The present report describes a case of pentacuspid pulmonary valve encountered during the autopsy of a 50-year-old man with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The pentacuspid pulmonary valve had three relatively equal cusps and two smaller cusps. In this case, a tricuspid aortic valve was identified with normal structure and no evidence of heart failure was found clinically or pathologically.
