Primary tumors, predominantly of the CARDIAC VALVES, characterized by multiple papillary frond structures. Although histologically benign, they may result in complications (e.g., valve dysfunction, EMBOLISM; STROKE; and SUDDEN DEATH).

[Acute Coronary Syndrome Caused by Papillary Fibroelastoma:Report of a Case].
A 72-year-old female had persistent severe chest pain while climbing stairs. She was diagnosed as having acute coronary syndrome, and underwent an emergency coronary angiography (CAG). The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium was sub-totally occluded. Echocardiography revealed a 10 mm mobile mass at the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve. To avoid total obustruction on two drug eluting stents were placed at the RCA ostium so as to have the proximal end protrude into the right Valsalva sinus. Thus, her hemodynamic condition was stabilized. The tumor was surgically resected and the stents were easily removed. Pathologically, the tumor was papillary fibroelastoma. Postoperative aortic regurgitation was minimal echocardiography, and CAG showed normal RCA. |

Concomitant minimally invasive surgery for tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma and right lung cancer in an elderly patient: a case report and review of the literature.
It is very common for patients with newly diagnosed lung masses to have heart disease. However, papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) of the tricuspid valve (TV) combined with lung cancer are rarely reported. It is thus unclear whether a two-stage surgery or concomitant surgery is optimal.. We report the case of a 73-year-old Chinese male who was diagnosed with PFEs on the TV by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examination while being evaluated to undergo video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for a right lower lung nodule. We resected both the PFEs and the lung nodule via right minithoracotomy. The surgery was uneventful, and histopathology reports confirmed PFEs of the TV and moderately to poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The patient recovered uneventfully, and there was no sign of tumor recurrence during 15 months of follow-up.. We suggest that after careful evaluation, concomitant minimally invasive radical resection of primary lung cancer after cardiac PFE removal is an acceptable and safe treatment strategy and should be performed as soon as possible. |

Left Ventricular Papillary Fibroelastoma.
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare benign primary cardiac tumor typically found on the valvular structures of the heart. Nonvalvular papillary fibroelastomas are exceedingly rare. We report the case of a 66-year-old male who presented with cerebellar infarctions and was found to have a mobile mass attached to the endocardial surface of the anteroseptal wall of the left ventricle. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated late gadolinium enhancement. Surgical excision of the cardiac mass was performed via the transaortic approach without intra-operative complications. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of a papillary fibroelastoma. Some aspects related to the etiology, diagnosis and management of this entity are discussed. |

A rare case of papillary fibroelastoma involving the tricuspid valve. A single center experience over a period of 22 years (1999-2021).
Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) represents only 16% of the benign cardiac tumor and approximately 15% of these are located on the tricuspid valve.. Over a period of 22 years (1999-2021) we observed 75 pts with cardiac tumors at our Center over 9650 pts operated on but only one case of a tricuspid valve PFE in a 69-year-old patient. Trans-thoracic echocardiography demonstrated a mobile mass (20 × 10 mm), adhering to the atrial side of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve of unknown origin. In consideration of the mobility of the mass and the consequent high embolic risk, surgical removal was made. The patient underwent surgery through a median sternotomy on CPBP. A 'gelatinous' mass adhering to the tricuspid leaflet was found and completely removed. The postoperative course was uneventful. The pathological diagnosis was PFE.. PFEs of the tricuspid valve are rare entities being in most cases found incidentally. In our experience, the incidence of this tumor in this location is 1/10,000 cases of cardiac surgery. Although most patients are asymptomatic, surgical treatment is nevertheless recommended in consideration of the high embolic risk. |
