ABSTRACT
Papillary fibroelastoma is the second most common cardiac
tumor and the most common valvular one. The case of a
70-year-old female with a history of fainting is presented.
Given the progressive increase in the size of the lesion, surgical
resection was performed with valve preservation. This
tumor is usually asymptomatic, but 20% present chest pain,
arrhythmias, or embolisms. Mortality is 50% without resection
due to embolization and outflow tract obstruction.
