Left atrial fibroelastoma.

چکیده
We describe a 67-year-old man with a history of stroke who was found to have a mass at the left atrial ridge, at the free wall of the left atrium between the left atrial appendage and the pulmonary vein. The mass was removed surgically and pathological analysis showed fibroelastoma. A literature search showed that fibroelastoma in the left atrial ridge frequently causes embolic stroke.

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...

متن کاملLeft atrial myxoma with papillary fibroelastoma-like features.
Although rare, papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) of the heart valves and atrial myxoma represent the two most common cardiac tumors. Coexistence of these two lesions has been documented in rare case reports. We describe the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with slightly progressive chest pain associated with dyspnea, fatigue and edema of the lungs. Transthoracic echocardiography detected a l...
