Cardiac tumors are rarely encountered pathologies, but they may have versatile and different clinical implications. Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are the third most common primary heart tumors and these are often diagnosed incidentally. When these tumors cause symptoms, they often emerge with cerebral embolic events or myocardial ischemia. Surgical resection of the tumor is recommended to eliminate the risk of embolism and sudden death for symptomatic cases and when the tumor originates from the left side of the heart and mobile. In this case report, we present valve-sparing complete resection of a cardiac papillary fibroelastoma arising from aortic valve which causes neurological symptoms. |
