Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (EF) are rare cardiac tumors, but represent the most common of the valvular tumors. The majority of EFs is asymptomatic. However, EF of the left heart valves is more often associated with serious symptoms, Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare cause of embolic stroke. It is most frequently located in the aortic and mitral valves. The onset of symptoms and tumors that are mobile or larger than 10 mm are a surgical indication. Complete surgical resection of the tumor is curative, with no recurrence of long-term lesions.
