Papillary fibroelastoma is a benign cardiac tumor, generally
small and with papillary fronds, third in frequency after
cardiac myxoma and lipoma, with a prevalence of about
10% of all cardiac tumors [1, 2]. Its localization, similarly to
other benign cardiac tumors, prefers the endothelium of
the valve leaflets, most commonly the aortic valve (44% to
59%), less frequently the mitral (13% to 35%) and tricuspid
(4% to 15%) valves [3–5]. It is discovered occasionally or
following symptoms due to systemic or coronary embolization.
Symptoms due to obstruction of the ventricular flow
tract are rare. Surgical excision is curative and its recurrence
rare if the resection of margins are disease-free
