Papillary fibroelastoma of the left atrium in a 3-year-old boy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 3 year old boy presented with a cardiac murmur. Except for mildly impaired physical condition that was more likely due to asthmatic bronchitis, he was asymptomatic. Cardiac echocardiography disclosed a large tumor in the left atrium originating from the interatrial septum. The patient was immediately referred to surgery for excision of the tumor. Histological examination of the tumor showed a typical papillary fibroelastoma. The occurrence of a papillary fibroelastoma in a child is a rarity.

Surgical treatment of aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma with neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease).
A 69-year-old man with a medical history of neurofibromatosis was transferred to our hospital for the treatment of an aortic valve mass. His workup identified an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma based on the absence of signs of infection, thrombus in the left atrium, and valvular destruction or abnormal valvular function. A tumor was excised under cardiopulmonary bypass. The pathology of th...

متن کاملLeft Atrium Papillary Fibroelastomas: A Cause of Cerebral Emboli
Papillary fibroelastomas are cardiac benign tumours. Among the benign cardiac tumor, papillary fibroelastomas are reported second after myxomas. Most often diagnosed incidentally, papillary fibroelastomas may embolize to cerebral circulation. Valvular locations are predominant; location in left atrium is rare. In this paper, we present a case of papillary fibroelastoma located in left atrium wi...

A 50-year-old adult female was admitted to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of dyspnea on effort. Cardiac examination revealed a diastolic murmur best heard at the apex, but was otherwise unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a mobile, spherical, hyperechoic, homogeneous mass attached to the posterior mitral leaflet which was causing significant mitral stenosis. 2-dime...
