  • Title: Incidental detection of an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma by echocardiography in an asymptomatic patient presenting with hypertension.
    Author: Evans AJ, Butany J, Omran AS, David TE.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 1997 Oct; 13(10):905-8. PubMed ID: 9374945.
    Abstract:
    Papillary fibroelastomas are rare, frond-like tumours of uncertain etiology seen on cardiac valves, uncommonly found antemortem. They carry a significant risk of embolization, making their detection and excision during life an important issue. A case of an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma is described, which was found at echocardiography in a patient being assessed for previously unrecognized, severe hypertension.
