Papillary Fibroelastoma Involving the Left Ventricular Wall

Schoondyke, Jeffrey W., Burress, Jonathan W., Shabaneh, Bahaeddin, Giorgadze, Tamar A., Costello, Patrick N., Fahrig, Stephen, Whitaker, Jack 01 June 2003 (has links)
A 71-year-old white woman presented to her primary care physician for a routine visit and was found to have a new, previously undocumented cardiac murmur. A subsequent transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a 1 cm mobile mass arising from the lateral free wall of the left ventricle. Transesophageal echocardiography later confirmed these findings. The patient underwent a left ventriculotomy and excision of a .7 cm friable mass, which was later identified as a papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) by routine histopathologic studies. We present this unique case with a review of the literature.
