Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are benign tumors that usually arise from the valvular endocardium. They are clinically important because of their propensity to embolize. We describe, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported case of a papillary fibroelastoma arising from the left atrial appendage, giving rise to multiple cerebral embolic events. The tumor was excised surgically, with no further embolic events.
心脏乳头状弹力纤维瘤是通常起源于瓣膜心内膜的良性肿瘤。由于它们易于发生栓塞，因此具有临床重要性。据我们所知，我们描述了首例起源于左心耳的乳头状弹力纤维瘤导致多次脑栓塞事件的报告病例。该肿瘤通过手术切除，未再发生栓塞事件。
