Papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve.
In 67-year-old woman without any cardiac or neurologic symptoms, a transesophageal echocardiogram showed a rounded mass attached to the non-coronary cusp of the aortic valve (Video 1). We excised the tumor with preservation of the valve (Fig. 1). Gross examination (Fig. 2) and light microscopy confirmed the diagnosis of papillary fibroelastoma. Fig. 1. Intraoperative gross appearance of the pap...
متن کاملValve Sparing Surgery for Papillary Fibroelastoma of the Aortic Valve
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a rare benign tumor that involves the heart valves and may cause thromboembolism or arrhythmia. The case is presented of an asymptomatic, 60-year-old woman in whom a fibroelastoma was localized on the ventricular aspect of the non-coronary leaflet of the aortic valve. The patient had only palpitation of the heart, and the tumor was accidentally found dur...
متن کاملNative Aortic Valve Thrombosis Resembling Papillary Fibroelastoma
The differential diagnosis of cardiac mass is important in determining the therapeutic plan and avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention. Non-invasive imaging methods would be useful in the diagnosis of suspected cardiac mass, because they may provide earlier diagnosis and more accurate assessment of cardiac mass. Native aortic valve thrombosis is a rare disorder and difficult to differentiat...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging of a Giant Aortic Valve Papillary Fibroelastoma
Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are benign cardiac tumors arising from endocardium. They are commonly found on valvular surfaces and average 1.0-1.5 cm in size. Though often asymptomatic, PFEs can lead to potentially severe complications, primarily due to their embolic potential. Surgical resection is recommended for all symptomatic or large PFEs. We report the case of a patient presenting with...
متن کاملAortic valve papillary fibroelastoma: a rare cause of angina.
A 66-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and a history of hypertension presented with intermittent episodes of chest pain and palpitations. An electrocardiogram showed no previous ischemic events but revealed atrial f ibrillation. Transthoracic echocardiography disclosed a round, mobile mass on the aortic valve. Transesophageal echocardiography showed the mass (14 × 10 mm) on the aortic side ...
