Abstract

Papillary fibroelastoma is the second most common benign cardiac tumor, usually involving the cardiac valve. Papillary fibroelastoma attached at the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve was found in a 51-year-old woman, who was presented with chest pain and dyspnea. During the operation, the tumor mass was excised without causing damage on the aortic valve leaflet.
