A case of papillary fibroelastoma in the left ventricle
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a rare and benign primary cardiac neoplasm of unknown prevalence. The incidence of CPF in the left ventricle is lower than that in other parts of the heart. A 65-year-old female was referred to our cardiology department for evaluation of a cardiac mass of the left ventricle. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a 1.8 × 1.7 cm highly mobile round mass ...

We evaluated the case of a patient with Papillary Fibroelastoma (PFE) that presented embolization to the upper right limb. The patient was submitted to percutaneous embolectomy, with fragment removal. The diagnosis was confirmed by transthoracic echocardiogram and anatomopathological analysis of the fragment. The patient chose to undergo the conservative clinical treatment and the follow-up has...
متن کاملDouble primary left ventricular and aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma.
Papillary fibroelastomas of the heart are relatively rare benign tumors and although they can be symptom free, symptoms such as cerebral ischemia and cardiac infarction can be lethal. It is important to diagnose this tumor using echocardiography, because lethal embolisms can be prevented by surgical resection. Recurrence of this tumor has not been reported and multiple tumors are rare. The pres...
متن کاملPapillary fibroelastoma of the left atrial wall: a case report
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign cardiac tumor. It often arises from valvular endocardium, and non-valvular endocardial location is rare. Although transthoracic echocardiography is usually sufficient for the diagnosis of most cardiac tumors, small tumors such as papillary fibroelastoma may be missed. Transesophageal echocardiography is superior to transthoracic echocardiography...
متن کاملPapillary fibroelastoma of the left atrial free wall.
A63-year-old woman was referred for echocardiography in search of a potential cardiac source of systemic embolism. She had experienced 2 transient ischemic attacks during the previous 2 years. Transthoracic echocardiography (Figure 1) revealed a 2.532-cm mass attached to the left atrial lateral wall. Transesophageal examination (Figure 2) showed a 27325322-mm mobile, spherical tumor with 1to 5-...
