Abstract:
Papillary fibroelastomas are benign and rare tumors usually involving the cardiac valves. The diagnosis of this condition has gradually increased over the past few years. This is attributed to the increasing number of echocardiographic and transesophageal procedures that are currently performed. The case is presented of a woman diagnosed with an aortic valve mass, the sessile nature of which in the aortic root was considered a potential source of cerebral and coronary embolism. The mass was surgically removed, with no major complications being encountered perioperatively.
