|July 1, 1979
Abstract:
A large papillary endocardial "tumor" of the heart was resected during surgery for closure of an interventricular septal defect in an adult. The theories of pathogenesis of papillary "tumors" of the heart are briefly reviewed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a papillary tumor resected at surgery.
