A Large Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma Arising from the Coumadin Ridge: Unusual Location and Presentation.

ABSTRACT: •The coumadin ridge is a very unusual location for a cardiac PFE.•Although benign, large, mobile cardiac PFEs can pose a significant embolic risk.•Multimodality CV imaging can differentiate cardiac PFE from other cardiac tumors.

Cerebral Embolism due to a Large Papillary Fibroelastoma arising from the Coumadin Ridge.

Project description:A 70-year-old woman developed acute cerebral infarction. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a large mobile mass in the left atrium, suggesting cardiac myxoma as the most likely diagnosis. Surgical exploration revealed a papillary fibroelastoma originating from the coumadin ridge, which is fairly rare but important as a source of cerebral embolization.

Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma presenting as acute stroke.

Project description:We present a case of a young woman who was initially diagnosed with acute stroke with no obvious risk factors. Preliminary investigation with transthoracic echocardiography and subsequent advanced imaging with transoesophageal echocardiography suggested the diagnosis of a benign cardiac tumour on the anterior leaflet of mitral valve. The patient underwent urgent surgical resection. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma. She made complete clinical recovery with no recurrence of symptoms.

Subaortic Membrane Papillary Fibroelastoma.

Project description:A 61-year-old male presented for an annual exam and received a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) which revealed a mobile mass arising from a subaortic membrane. Further investigations with a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) and cardiac computerized tomography angiography (CTA) confirmed the presence of a mobile 9 mm × 3 mm mass on a subaortic membrane. Cardiothoracic surgery was performed with an open operation removing the mass and subaortic membrane. Upon visual inspection, the mass was likened to a sea anemone and immunohistochemical staining performed pathologically confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma. This case represents the first reported example of a cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) arising from a subaortic membrane. Although PFEs are benign cardiac tumors, proper identification and consideration for excision of these lesions may be indicated to prevent thromboembolic complications.

Papillary fibroelastoma causing severe aortic stenosis.

Project description:Herein, we present a rare case of papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve, which caused severe aortic stenosis. The papillary fibroelastoma developed on the left ventricular side of the non-coronary cusp, immobilizing the cusp motion and obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract, resulting in severe aortic stenosis that brought on acute heart failure. The patient underwent an urgent surgical treatment, which resulted in a successful outcome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of papillary fibroelastoma in which aortic stenosis was so severe as to cause congestive heart failure.Learning objectivePapillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is the most commonly observed primary cardiac tumor in adults that commonly involves left heart chambers. While PFEs often cause embolisms, they rarely cause valvular dysfunction. In a case presented herein, a PFE developed on the left ventricular side of the non-coronary cusp, immobilizing the cusp motion and obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract, resulting in severe aortic stenosis that brought on acute heart failure.

Native aortic valve thrombosis resembling papillary fibroelastoma.

Project description:The differential diagnosis of cardiac mass is important in determining the therapeutic plan and avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention. Non-invasive imaging methods would be useful in the diagnosis of suspected cardiac mass, because they may provide earlier diagnosis and more accurate assessment of cardiac mass. Native aortic valve thrombosis is a rare disorder and difficult to differentiate from a tumor, and in particular, a papillary fibroelastoma. Thus, the clinical decision making with imaging modalities should be performed cautiously. We recently met a female patient who had a aortic valve mass resembling papillary fibroelastoma in normal native valve. The patient underwent a surgical resection and the pathologic finding showed an organized thrombus with no evidence of papillary fibroelastoma.
