A cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPFE) is reported to be the second most common cardiac neoplasm after myxoma cordis. CPFEs are histologically benign, frequently asymptomatic, but highly thrombogenic, which could lead to systemic and peripheral embolization. We present a case of a 68-year-old-patient, with a history of angioosteohypertrophy syndrome, who presented at our emergency department (ED) with symptoms of transient ischemic attacks.

Article Synopsis
- Myxoma cordis is the most common heart tumor in adults, but in kids, heart tumors are rare, with rhabdomyoma being the most usual type.
- In children, myxomas don't happen often, with only about 0.5 cases for every million people each year, and most of the patients are girls.
- A unique case is described where an 18-year-old girl had a recurring heart tumor, which also caused some problems with her brain function.
An 80-year-old woman presented with general malaise and dyspnoea that has persisted for 2 months. Physical examination, laboratory tests, chest X-ray and ECG were normal, but tachycardia was not. A CT scan of the thorax performed due to suspicion of pulmonary embolism revealed a lesion in the right atrium and no other abnormalities.
