Cardiac Tumor Within the Left Ventricle: Thrombus or Something Else?
JACC Case Rep
December 2024
University of Alabama Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
Papillary fibroelastoma is a benign cardiac tumor that most commonly arises from the valvular endocardium and is typically resected because of its predisposition to cause embolic complications. In this clinical vignette, we describe the case of a patient who presented with a round, mobile 1.3 × 1.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study described a 39-year-old man who experienced severe chest pain due to a heart attack linked to a PFE found on imaging, which showed a mass near his aortic valve.
- * The patient successfully underwent surgery to remove the tumor, and the case underscores the need for advanced imaging techniques to identify these rare tumors, as well as the urgency of surgery when they cause symptoms.
Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma and Cerebrovascular Events: A Systematic Review.

Department of Cardiology, Memorial Healthcare System, Florida, USA.
Background: Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFs) are benign endocardial tumours with embolic potential. This article is a systematic review to identify the clinical profile, diagnosis, tumour characteristics, and treatment modalities in patients with CPF presenting with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Methods: This systematic review was conducted using the PubMed and Embase databases, including case reports and/or series and observational studies (for a search period of up until April 2022).

Department of Cardiology, Dabbous Cardiac Center, Adan Hospital, Kuwait City, Kuwait.
Article Synopsis
- - Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare benign tumor of the aortic valve that may cause obstruction, embolization, or be asymptomatic; diagnosis mainly relies on echocardiography.
- - Transthoracic echocardiography may miss small tumors due to size sensitivity, which can lead to missed diagnoses.
- - A case study showed a tumor detected by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, leading to successful surgical resection while preserving the aortic valve, emphasizing the importance of intraoperative imaging for accurate diagnosis.
