Abstract:
A 50-year-old woman with a long-standing history of palpitations was found by echocardiography to have a 1.5 cm mass on the atrial surface of the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve. Surgical excision included a portion of surrounding leaflet tissue. The tumour was a papillary fibroelastoma. She remained asymptomatic with no recurrence in follow-up.
