Özet

Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are benign cardiac tumors with high embolic tendency, and usually originate from the cardiac valve. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman who experienced progressive dyspnea and fatigue. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a pediculated, homogenous echo-dense, and highly mobile mass attached to the tricuspid valve. The patient was diagnosed with cardiac PFE because of its size and mobility, and surgical resection was scheduled.
