Pulmonary Valve Papillary Fibroelastoma in an Asymptomatic Young Patient
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is an extremely rare primary cardiac neoplasm, only 8% of all primary cardiac tumors, but the most common neoplasm originating from the endocardium. The incidence of this pathology is estimated 0,019% in clinical series [1]. Most frequently CPF involves leftsided heart valves (89%), especially aortic valve (29%), whereas mitral valve is less interested (25%...
متن کاملAsymptomatic papillary fibroelastoma of the Aortic valve in a young woman - a case report
Echocardiography represents an invaluable diagnostic tool for the detection of intracardiac masses while simultaneously provides information about their size, location, mobility and attachment site as well as the presence and extent of any consequent hemodynamic derangement. A 29-year-old asymptomatic young woman with incidental transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) discovery of an aortic valve...
متن کاملPulmonary valve papillary fibroelastoma diagnosed by echocardiography: a case report.
Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are rare cardiac valve tumours with reported incidence of <0.03% according to autopsy studies. Among them, pulmonary valve PFEs are extremely rare. With wider use of echocardiography, they are being increasingly recognized premortem. We describe a case of a 32-year-old Caucasian woman with PFE of pulmonic valve diagnosed by echocardiography. The patient underwent...
متن کاملCase 190: papillary fibroelastoma of the pulmonary valve.
Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a 1-cm mobile round mass attached to the posterior leaflet of the pulmonary valve (Fig 1). During systole, the entire mass prolapsed into the main pulmonary trunk. There was also an accompanying mild (grade 1 of 4) pulmonary regurgitation. Most of the lesion was hyperechoic, but a few echolucencies were suspected within the mass. In addition, a three-di...
متن کاملPapillary 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...
