Papillary fibroelastoma of aortic valve mimicking an infective endocarditis
Papillary fibroelastomas are benign tumours, usually found on cardiac valves. They are attached to the aortic valve in 90% of cases. Even though benign and mostly asymptomatic, right-sided tumours can cause pulmonary embolism, while left-sided tumours can cause serious complications. We report a 76-...

| description | Papillary fibroelastomas are benign tumours, usually found on cardiac valves. They are attached to the aortic valve in 90% of cases. Even though benign and mostly asymptomatic, right-sided tumours can cause pulmonary embolism, while left-sided tumours can cause serious complications. We report a 76-year-old woman treated initially for a suspicious infective endocarditis of the aortic valve, in whom papillary fibroelastoma was histologically confirmed, with no evidence of infective endocarditis. Resumen: Los fibroelastomas papilares son tumores benignos que, generalmente, se encuentran en las válvulas cardiacas. El 90% de ellos están unidos a la válvula aórtica y, aunque estos sean tumores benignos, la mayoría pueden ser asintomáticos. Los del lado derecho pueden causar embolia pulmonar, mientras que los del lado izquierdo pueden ocasionar complicaciones graves. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 76 años tratada por sospechas de endocarditis infecciosa de la válvula aórtica, a quien se le confirmó patológicamente el fibroelastoma papilar, sin evidencia de endocarditis infecciosa. |
