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.
