  • Title: Occurrence of a second primary papillary fibroelastoma.
    Author: Hynes MS, Veinot JP, Chan KL.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 2002 Jul; 18(7):753-6. PubMed ID: 12167963.
    Abstract:
    Papillary fibroelastomas are rare, benign cardiac tumours that most commonly arise from cardiac valves, and often present with signs and symptoms of embolization. A patient presented initially with transient ischemic attacks. He was found to have a papillary fibroelastoma on his tricuspid valve, which was successfully resected. Nine years later, he presented again with cerebral embolic symptoms and was found to have a new fibroelastoma on his mitral valve. The presence of a new lesion should be considered if signs or symptoms recur.
