Background: Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are rare cardiac tumors usually treated by shave resection. Up to 20% of the patients are actually denied such a conservative surgical approach because atypical morphology is thought to preclude radical and effective outcomes.
Methods/results: Surgical tricks and tips of shave resection are elucidated, and a case series presentation of the morphology of atypical PFEs treated by shave resection is described.
Conclusion: In experienced hands surgical shave resection is the gold standard for the treatment of PFE even in atypical presentations.

Article Synopsis
- - This study focused on analyzing the clinical features and risk factors for disease progression in patients with T4a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) based on a retrospective review of 602 patients from 2010 to 2022.
- - Key findings included significant invasions in trachea (45.0%) and recurrent laryngeal nerve (85.7%), with a high 5-year progression-free survival rate of 89.8% and overall low mortality at 5.17%, while certain risk factors like age ≥55 and vocal cord paralysis increased progression risk.
- - The study concludes that surgery remains the main treatment for T4a PTC, with most patients showing good outcomes, suggesting a need for thorough
