Abstract:
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare tumor. Its location in the left ventricular wall is uncommon. A 59-year-old woman with 2 previous strokes presented with a tumor in the left ventricular apex. The patient underwent tumor resection through a left ventriculotomy. The histopathologic diagnosis was papillary fibroelastoma.
