Fletcher-Sanfeliu D, Vidal Bonet L, Ventosa Fernandez G, Hidalgo Torrico I, Saez De Ibarra Sanchez JI. Papillary fibroelastoma on the pulmonary valve in a young woman. CIR CARDIOVASC. 2018 Nov;25(6):277-9.Abstract
Papillary fibroelastomas are rare benign primary cardiac tumors that usually grow depending on the left heart valves. The pulmonary valve is rarely involved, with only 7% of cases described on it. Most of patients are asymptomatic but these tumors are responsible for life-threatening complications. We present a singular case of papillary fibroelastoma depending on the pulmonary valve in a young woman detected by echocardiography which was surgically removed with an uneventful recovery.
