Non-valvular left ventricular papillary fibroelastoma in a patient with recurrent stroke

چکیده
A 69-year-old gentleman presented with sudden-onset dizziness and diplopia. Clinical examination findings were suggestive of posterior circulation stroke. He was found to be in atrial flutter on admission, reverting spontaneously to sinus rhythm. Three weeks before admission, he was admitted to a different hospital with anterior circulation Figure 1 (A) Transthoracic echocardiogram (PLAX view) showing the mass in the LVOT attached to the inter-ventricular septum. (B) Transoesophageal echocardiogram confirming the mass measuring 1.1!1.1 cm in the LVOT attached to the inter-ventricular septum. (C) Transoesophageal echocardiogram showing the mass prolapsing through the aortic valve. (D) Intraoperative picture showing the jelly-like mass attached to the inter-ventricular septum.

Atypical presentation of a ventricular papillary fibroelastoma
Papillary fibroelastoma is the most common valvular cardiac tumor. The most common non-valvular site these tumors present is the left ventricle, where they usually manifest as ischemic strokes or myocardial infarction. Although these tumors also have a risk of embolization into the peripheral system, reports of such events are exceedingly rare. A 77 year old female presented to the hospital f...

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.

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...

BACKGROUND Papillary fibroelastomas are rare, benign cardiac tumors that are often found on cardiac valvular surfaces. Most are incidental discoveries during surgery or autopsy. The clinical presentation of fibroelastoma varies widely, ranging from clinically asymptomatic to severe thromboembolic events. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of 65-year-old white man diagnosed with scattered, bil...

Papillary fibroelastoma is the most common primary cardiac valvular tumor. Historically, papillary fibroelastoma was an incidental autopsy finding, deemed to have no clinical significance. More recently, reports of symptomatic cases of papillary fibroelastoma with complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke have led papillary fibroelastoma to be considered a potentially dangerous les...
