CARDIAC PAPILLARY FIBROELASTOMA: A CASE WITH UNPRECEDENTED SPREAD

Papillary fibroelastomas (PFE) are a rare primary cardiac neoplasm, out of which multifocal PFE constitute a small minority of cases. These benign masses are commonly found on valvular surfaces, particularly the aortic valve.

We present a patient with a history of embolic stroke and intra-cardiac masses. Multimodal imaging revealed multiple nodules with extensive intra-cardiac distribution. All nodules were successfully removed without valve dysfunction.

This is a unique case of multiple PFE involving intracardiac cavities as well as all valvular structures.
