| Popis: | Cardiac valve fibrolipomas are extremely rare. We report a case of a 38-year-old female initially presenting with palpitations and moderate aortic incompetence who was found to have a lipomatous growth of the aortic valve. She underwent aortic valve repair with good postoperative results. Histopathogy verified the lesion as a fibrolipoma. This is the first reported case of fibrolipoma in the aortic valve, whilst aiming to consider repair as a surgical option in young patients with such growths. |
