چکیده
We evaluated the case of a patient with Papillary Fibroelastoma (PFE) that presented embolization to the upper right limb. The patient was submitted to percutaneous embolectomy, with fragment removal. The diagnosis was confirmed by transthoracic echocardiogram and anatomopathological analysis of the fragment. The patient chose to undergo the conservative clinical treatment and the follow-up has shown good evolution with no disease recurrence to date. We decided to use this rare and interesting case with the objective of reviewing the current literature and discuss the best therapeutic management.

Surgical resection of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma in the left ventricular outflow tract.
An 81-year-old man was referred to our hospital on May 29, 2006, for a left ventricular tumor that a cardiologist had evaluated by echocardiography. The patient underwent surgical resection of a left ventricular tumor including the stalk through the aortic annulus on June 6. The aortic cross-clamp time, cardiopulmonary time, and operation time were 27 minutes, 48 minutes, and 2 hours 40 minutes...

While a 74-year-old man with a past history of cerebral infarction was undergoing surface echocardiography due to transient atrial fibrillation, an unstable, pedunculated tumor was detected in the left ventricular outflow tract. As the results of transesophageal echocardiography suggested a left ventricular tumor, semi-emergency surgery was performed. Based on pathological findings, the tumor w...
متن کاملUnusual Location of a Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare benign cardiac tumor that represents less than 10% of all cardiac tumors. Most papillary fibroelastomas are relatively small. Symptoms, if present, are due to flow obstruction or peripheral embolization. The most common sites of origin are aortic and mitral valve surfaces. We present successful surgical resection of a papillary fibroelastoma through the...
متن کاملDouble primary left ventricular and aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma.
Papillary fibroelastomas of the heart are relatively rare benign tumors and although they can be symptom free, symptoms such as cerebral ischemia and cardiac infarction can be lethal. It is important to diagnose this tumor using echocardiography, because lethal embolisms can be prevented by surgical resection. Recurrence of this tumor has not been reported and multiple tumors are rare. The pres...
متن کاملUse of microbubble contrast in the diagnosis of a left ventricular papillary fibroelastoma
UNLABELLED A papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, avascular, cardiac tumour that is often found incidentally using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Peripheral i.v. injection of a microbubble contrast agent is often used to characterize abnormal masses within the heart allowing further delineation of physical features, the area of attachment, and vascularity of the mass in order to differenti...
