چکیده

The primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare tumors that arise from the normal cardiac tissues. There are benign variants (mostly myxoma) and malignant tumors. Fibroelastoma (FE) is the most common primary tumor, of which myxoma is the most common subtype followed by papillary fibroelastomas (PFE).They account for the majority of primary heart valvular tumors that mainly involve the left (mitral and aortic) valves, and only few cases reported pulmonary valve PFE. We present a case of 61 year old female who had incidental pulmonary valve papillary FE finding on echo along with anomalous coronary arteries.  A 61 years old diabetic female with a medical history of sarcoidosis presented with chronic stable angina. She underwent an exercise stress test in which the patient exercised 7 min of a modified Bruce protocol was terminated afterwards due to leg pain but not chest pain. Her ECG demonstrated ST segment changes consistent with ischemia (ST segment depression of more than 1 mm in lead II,III, aVF along with lead V5 and V6). The coronary arteries were found to be angiographically clean during left heart catheterization but the procedure showed an anomalous large, long left main coronary artery originating from the right coronary cusp. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiogram confirmed the anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from a common ostium with the right coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva (Figure 1A and 1B). The left main coronary was crossing between the aorta and right pulmonary outflow tract consistent with an intra-arterial course. A Trans-Thoracic It also showed pulmonary valve FE (Figure 2). Echocardiogram showed an incidental finding of multiple mobile structures attached to the pulmonic valve, with the largest one measuring 0.7  0.7 cm, whose appearance was consistent with PFE. A Trans-esophageal echo showed a mobile mass at-

The role of intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis and management of a rare multiple fibroelastoma of aortic valve: a case report and review of literature.

Papillary fibroelastoma is the third most common primary tumour of the heart that usually involves the cardiac valves. Multiple papillary fibroelastomas are extremely rare. We report a case with multiple valve papillary fibroelastoma which was identified only by intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography. The patient complained of atypical chest pains. She was affected by coronary artery ...

Recurrent myocardial infarction in a patient with papillary fibroelastoma.

This report describes a case of a 62 year-old man admitted for recurrent myocardial infarction and normal coronary arteries, caused by coronary embolism from aortic papillary fibroelastoma.

The case was a Japanese man of 62 years old. A bulbar mass attached to mitral valve anterior leaflet was discovered in an echocardiography within detailed examination of ischemic heart disease accidentally. We diagnosed him as ischemic heart disease and doubt of heart tumor. We thought about the danger of future embolism, surgical treatment was decided. We dissected the tumor together with one ...

An uncommon cause of typical cardiac chest pain.

A 64-year-old woman presented with typical angina during exercise for 2 weeks. An exercise treadmill test provoked similar chest pain and showed abnormal ST segments suggestive of myocardial ischemia during peak exercise. A prospectively ECG-triggered adaptive dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography ruled out coronary artery disease. Instead it demonstrated a nonenhanced clover-lik...
