  • Title: Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma and stroke. Echocardiographic diagnosis and guide to excision.
    Author: Topol EJ, Biern RO, Reitz BA.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1986 Jan; 80(1):129-32. PubMed ID: 3942145.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are rare and have been considered a "benign," incidental finding. With two-dimensional echocardiography, these tumors can now be readily diagnosed. A young male patient who had a stroke due to a mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma is described. In this patient, not only did preoperative echocardiography establish the diagnosis, but intraoperative transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiography was utilized to guide tumor excision.
