A case of papillary fibroelastoma in the left ventricle
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 attached by a stalk to the apical inferior wall of the left ventricle with an echolucent area. The mass was successfully removed without any postoperative complications and was identified as a CPF.

While a 74-year-old man with a past history of cerebral infarction was undergoing surface echocardiography due to transient atrial fibrillation, an unstable, pedunculated tumor was detected in the left ventricular outflow tract. As the results of transesophageal echocardiography suggested a left ventricular tumor, semi-emergency surgery was performed. Based on pathological findings, the tumor w...
متن کاملUnusual Location of a Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare benign cardiac tumor that represents less than 10% of all cardiac tumors. Most papillary fibroelastomas are relatively small. Symptoms, if present, are due to flow obstruction or peripheral embolization. The most common sites of origin are aortic and mitral valve surfaces. We present successful surgical resection of a papillary fibroelastoma through the...

Background: Primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. In this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. Case Presentation: A 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal.

We report a rare case of a papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) in the apex of the left ventricle.An 81-year-old woman with nonspecific symptoms was shown to have a mobile mass deep in the left ventricle. With videoscopic assistance, removal of the mass was accomplished through the mitral valve via a midline sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. The tumor arose from a miniature tendinous chord in t...
