| description | 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. Resumen: Los fibroelastomas papilares son unos tumores cardíacos primarios que normalmente crecen dependiendo de las válvulas cardíacas izquierdas. La válvula pulmonar rara vez se ve involucrada, estando presente en tan solo un 7% de los casos descritos. La mayoría de los pacientes están asintomáticos, pero estos tumores son responsables de las complicaciones potencialmente mortales. Se presenta un caso singular de fibroelastoma papilar sobre válvula pulmonar en una mujer joven detectado por ecocardiografía y tratado mediante excisión quirúrgica con un postoperatorio sin complicaciones.
