Papillary fibroelastoma (PF) is a rare benign heart tumor and represents less than 10% of primary cardiac tumors. It mainly affects the cardiac valves and is often discovered during open heart surgery or autopsy. We present a case of a patient who was detected with a left ventricular apex tumor during the evaluation of the transient ischemic attack. The patient underwent surgery, and subsequently, macroscopic and microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of PF.
