    Summary

    Papillary fibroelastomas are rare, benign heart tumors. This report details two cases diagnosed via echocardiography and successfully treated with surgical excision.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Cardiac Pathology

    Background:

    • Papillary fibroelastomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors.
    • They are typically found incidentally during cardiac surgery or autopsy.
    • While often asymptomatic, they can rarely cause symptoms or sudden cardiac death.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of cardiac papillary tumors are presented.
    • Diagnosis was achieved using two-dimensional echocardiography.
    • Tumors were located on the mitral valve (1x1 cm) and aortic valve (1.5x1 cm).

    Findings:

    • One patient was asymptomatic with a mitral valve papilloma.
    • The second patient experienced chest pain and diaphoresis due to an aortic valve papilloma.
    • Both cardiac tumors were successfully surgically excised.

    Implications:

    • Echocardiography is effective for diagnosing papillary fibroelastomas.
    • Surgical excision is a successful treatment for symptomatic and incidental cardiac papillary tumors.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent potential complications like sudden death.
