Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma Result in Acute Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Report

Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign primary cardiac tumor that remains asymptomatic. Severe complications have been reported in some cases. The only effective therapy is surgical excision.

Here, we report a case of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma with the initial symptom of chest pain and a first diagnosis of acute left main coronary artery disease. This patient eventually underwent tumor excision surgery and recovered well.

For patients with symptomatic cardiac papillary fibroelastoma, we provide a series of comprehensive data from before, during, and after surgery. This might be helpful for the future diagnosis and treatment of these tumors.
