Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are rare primary cardiac tumors of unknown prevalence. As intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography has become widely used, fibroelastomas are increasingly detected as incidental findings. There are multiple reports of surgical excision, but none describing incomplete excision with long-term surveillance. We report a case of incomplete excision of an aortic valve fibroelastoma subsequently followed-up for 6.5 years without regrowth.
心脏乳头肌弹力纤维瘤是一种罕见的原发性心脏肿瘤，其发病率未知。随着术中经食管超声心动图的广泛应用，弹力纤维瘤越来越多地作为偶然发现被检测出来。有多篇关于手术切除的报道，但没有一篇描述不完全切除并进行长期监测的情况。我们报告一例主动脉瓣弹力纤维瘤不完全切除病例，随后进行了6.5年的随访，未见肿瘤复发。
