ABSTRACT

Papillary fibroelastoma is an infrequent tumor, with a prevalence estimated between 1 and 7.9% of all primary cardiac tumors, which -at the same time- have a very low incidence (between 0.001 and 0.28%), because the great majority of them (almost a 90%) are benign. Here is presented the case of a 41-year-old man who had a stroke. A cardiac tumor in the anterior mitral valve suggestive of papillary fibroelastoma was found in the echocardiographic study. The surgical intervention was decided because of the possibility of resulting embolic complications with recurrence of cerebrovascular ischemic events. A triangular resection of the tumor and mitral annuloplasty were performed with good results. The pathological study confirmed the diagnosis.
