Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma

Departments of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Cardiovascular Medicine, and Anatomic Pathology, Lahey Clinic, Burlington, Massachusetts

Papillary fibroelastomas are rare cardiac tumors, but they are the most common primary tumor of the heart valves. These lesions occur on any of the valves or endothelial surfaces of the heart and may be detected by echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, during open heart operation for other conditions, or at autopsy. Because of their potential for cerebral and coronary embolization, even small papillary fibroelastomas should be excised.
