We present a rare case of dextrocardia in the corpse of a female child, aged approximately one year old, presenting situs solitus. The cases of dextrocardia reported in the literature normally describe multiple associated cardiac malformations. In the present study, it is noteworthy the fact that a complete specular image of the heart and the vessels of the base of the heart was not found. There was no atrioventricular discordance or other intra and extracardiac malformations, which are commonly seen in cases of dextrocardia. A large ductus arteriosus was found, as well as the anomalous position of the right portion of the heart.
