Abstract:
Papillary fibroelastomas are benign, and they are the second most common primary cardiac tumors usually involving the cardiac valve. Papillary fibroelastoma attached to the free margin of right coronary cusp of the aortic vlave was found incidentally during the work-up of a 51-year-old woman, who was presented with palpitation and dyspnea. During the operation, the tumor mass was excised without leaving defect on the aortic valve leaflet.
