Abstract
- Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are the second most common primary tumor of the heart and they most commonly affect the left cardiac valves. However, occurrence of this tumor on the right side of the heart has been rarely reported, with only a few cases having been documented on the pulmonary valve. We present here a rare case of a papillary fibroelastoma that occurred on the pulmonary valve and this was successfully managed by replacing the pulmonary valve in a patient with congestive heart failure.
