Abstract

|
Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are the second most common primary cardiac tumor. This tumor is usually benign and it involves the cardiac valve. However, most cardiac papillary fibroelastomas originate from a single site, and the incidence of cardiac papillary fibroelastomas originating from multiple sites is very rare (5%). A 55-year-old woman who presented with momentary dizziness and syncope was evaluated by performing echocardiography. Multiple tumors attached to the aortic valve were noted. The mass was removed freely without leaving any defect on the aortic valve leaflet. After the recovery period, the patient is currently being followed up at the outpatient department.
