  • Title: Cardiac valve papillary fibroelastoma: surgical excision for revealed or potential embolization.
    Author: Yopp AC, Vaynblat M, Cunningham JN, Lazzaro RS.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2007; 22(1):72-3. PubMed ID: 17239221.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPF) are benign endocardial papillomas commonly formed from valve endothelium. The majority of tumors are found on the left side of the heart, with only a few case reports of pulmonary valve fibroelastomas. We report here a case of pulmonary valve papillary fibroelastoma that was successfully managed with simple excision of the mass.
