Complete absence of anterior tricuspid valve leaflet is a rare anomaly. We report the case of a 10-year-old girl who presented with severe tricuspid regurgitation with annular dilatation and non-coapting leaflets. Intra-operatively, an incidental finding of complete agenesis of the anterior leaflet was observed. A tricuspid valve replacement was carried out; the patient made an uneventful recovery and remains well at follow-up.
