    Abstract:
    Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare and benign cardiac tumour that mainly affects the valves. This tumour has the potential to cause serious life threatening thromboembolic complications. Herein, we describe successful excision of an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma. The importance of valve sparing tumour resection is emphasised.
