Abstract

|
|
|
Although cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is rare, it is the most common primary tumor of cardiac valves. The clinical presentation of these tumors varies from asymptomatic to embolic complications. We report an asymptomatic case of papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve which was diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. The tumor was successfully resected by surgery.
