Pulmonic valve fibroelastoma—A rare incidental finding
Primary cardiac neoplasms are a rare, commonly benign, tumor with an approximate incidence rate of 0.02%. Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE), a common form of primary cardiac neoplasms, typically present as a mass on the aortic and mitral valves, while rarely presenting as a pulmonary valve tumor. The ma...

| description | Primary cardiac neoplasms are a rare, commonly benign, tumor with an approximate incidence rate of 0.02%. Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE), a common form of primary cardiac neoplasms, typically present as a mass on the aortic and mitral valves, while rarely presenting as a pulmonary valve tumor. The majority of PFEs are asymptomatic, however valvular masses can pose a significant health hazard due to their potential to fragment into the bloodstream, facilitate thrombus formation, and restrict blood flow. Due to these risks, careful resection of the mass is recommended for symptomatic patients and asymptomatic patients if the tumor is large (>1 cm), mobile, or on left-sided valves. Here we present a case of an incidental finding of a pulmonic valve papillary fibroelastoma in a 65-year-old man by transesophageal echocardiography during a coronary artery bypass graft procedure. |
