Abstract EN
Papillary fibroelastomas are cardiac benign tumours.
Among the benign cardiac tumor, papillary fibroelastomas are reported second after myxomas.
Most often diagnosed incidentally, papillary fibroelastomas may embolize to cerebral circulation.
Valvular locations are predominant; location in left atrium is rare.
In this paper, we present a case of papillary fibroelastoma located in left atrium with symptoms of cerebral embolization.
Transoesophageal echocardiography diagnosed a mobile mass.
The patient was treated with surgical resection without further embolic complication.
