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. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of ...

soon after cardiac transplantation, but the recipient patients seldom show a postoperative precordial murmur attributable to valve dysfunction. This is not surprising, because mild forms of valvular regurgitation detected by Doppler are often clinically inaudiblee5 Overt signs of tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular failure were observed in 2 patients with residual postoperative pulmon...

These descriptions are now classics and have been extensively quoted in most well-known textbooks of dermatology....

OBJECTIVE To analyze the cytologic features of nipple discharge and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytologic smears from breast lesions reported as showing papillary features and to correlate them with histopathologic features. STUDY DESIGN The study group consisted of FNA smears and/or nipple discharge smears from 65 breast lesions diagnosed on cytology as duct papilloma, papillary lesion, fib...

papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) was proposed as an alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for opening the bile duct orifice to allow stone extraction with functional preservation of the biliary sphincter. Since its introduction in 1982, 1 EPBD has been widely performed because it is associated with lower bleeding and perforation risks compared to EST. 2-6 However, EPBD is more likely ...

in 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mtc-mibi scan is performed. the nodules are divided to hot (10), warm (12) and cold (8). fna reported papillary ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary ca and 3 benign lesions). all the nodules with no mibi uptake...
