Abstract:
We report two operated cases of papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve. Case 1: A 56-year-old man was referred to our hospital with hyperlipidemia. On echocardiogram, he was found to have a mobile mass attached to the NCC of the aortic valve. At operation, a sea anemone-like tumor was found attached to the free edge of the RCC and resection of the tumor was performed without valve replacement. Case 2: A 75-year-old woman was referred with heart murmur, and echocardiogram showed a tumor of the NCC of the aortic valve. At operation, the tumor was attached to the NCC and resection of the tumor was performed. On each case, microscopic examinations showed typical findings of PFE. The patients' postoperative courses were unremarkable.
