Abstract:
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is an uncommon tumor, and especially the one located in the left ventricular outflow tract wall is rare. The patient is a 69-year-old female. Multi-detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) revealed a 20×15 mm tumor attached to the left ventricular outflow tract wall under the left coronary cusp. The tumor was surgically removed with a slight margin. The tumor was milk-white in color, and had an egg-like appearance. The histological findings revealed papillary fibroelastoma. The postoperative course was uneventful.
