English abstract
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare benign cardiac tumor, usually associated with cardiac valves. Cases of non-valvular, left ventricular (LV) cavity PFE are extremely rare. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with a history of exertional chest pain. He was referred to our tertiary-care hospital for evaluation. On the echocardiogram, the patient was found to have a LV lesion related to the papillary muscle. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhancing mobile lesion related to the LV anterolateral papillary muscle which suggested a myxoma. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesion, later histopathologically confirmed to be PFE.
