Incidental finding of a large pulmonary valve fibroelastoma: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is an uncommon primary neoplasm of cardiac origin. They are solitary neoplasms that historically were an incidental finding at the time of autopsy. With the advent of two-dimensional echocardiography, symptomatic cases have been reported in current literature, thus causing a paradigm shift in the management of these tumors. Although the majority of PFE are benign, because of their potential risk for complication related to embolic and obstructive phenomena, they are now considered hazardous and require tumor excision even in asymptomatic patients. We report a case of an asymptomatic incidental large papillary fibroelastoma within the right ventricular outflow tract.

Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a rare neoplasm with predilection for heart valves, usually found incidentally on routine echocardiography. Most CPFs are asymptomatic; rarely, they are diagnosed because of cardiac symptoms or after an embolic event. This report describes the case of a 69-year-old woman with the incidental finding of a mass attached to the anterior mitral valve chordae....

The primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare tumors that arise from the normal cardiac tissues. There are benign variants (mostly myxoma) and malignant tumors. Fibroelastoma (FE) is the most common primary tumor, of which myxoma is the most common subtype followed by papillary fibroelastomas (PFE).They account for the majority of primary heart valvular tumors that mainly involve the left (mitr...

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare, papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) being the second most common benign tumor of the heart in previous series. However, as a consequence of increased imaging examinations, incidental PFE may represent the most common cardiac tumor. Their clinical presentation varies from incidental asymptomatic masses to severe life-threatening cardiovascular complications necess...
