Abstract
Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is one of the most common tumour of heart valves and found to be second common primary cardiac tumour. Only less than 50 cases were reported in the literature( Remadi et al., 2004) .1 Due to the advancement in 3D echocardiography, its diagnosis in living patient is become easy. The PFE could be found on both ventricles, valvular leaflets, and chordae tendinea. We present an interesting case of the CPF originating from the posterior mitral leaflet confusing with vegetation or annular calcification. Successful surgical excision was done of the papillary fibroelastoma.
乳头状纤维弹性瘤(PFE)是最常见的心脏瓣膜肿瘤之一,是第二常见的原发性心脏肿瘤。文献报道的病例不足50例(Remadi et al., 2004) .1由于三维超声心动图技术的进步,在活着的病人中诊断变得容易。PFE可见于双心室、瓣膜小叶和腱索。我们提出了一个有趣的案例,CPF起源于二尖瓣后小叶混淆植被或环形钙化。乳头状纤维弹性瘤手术切除成功。
