Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are rare primary cardiac tumors of unknown prevalence. As intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography has become widely used, fibroelastomas are increasingly detected as incidental findings. There are multiple reports of surgical excision, but none describing incomplete excision with long-term surveillance. We report a case of incomplete excision of an aortic valve fibroelastoma subsequently followed-up for 6.5 years without regrowth.
