Papillary Fibroelastoma of the Right Ventricular Free Wall

الملخص EN

Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare benign cardiac tumor that usually arises from the valvular endocardium and its development in the cardiac chambers is extremely rare.

A 52-year-old woman complained of palpitations and echocardiography revealed a cardiac tumor.

Resection was performed via the right ventricle and main pulmonary artery under cardiopulmonary bypass.

Histological examination of the resected tumor showed that it was a papillary fibroelastoma.

The patient’s postoperative course was unremarkable and no complications have been detected on followup.
