Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFs), the second most common primary cardiac tumor, are benign endocardial papillomas predominantly affecting the cardiac valves. Although CPFs are rare and benign tumors, they may result in life-threatening complications. Early diagnosis of this condition is important, since it represents a surgically correctable cause of systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, acute valve dysfunction, and sudden cardiac death. This review summarizes the significance and clinical approach for the diagnosis of this cardiac entity. The differential diagnosis, histological characteristics of CPF and current treatment strategies are also discussed.
心脏乳头状纤维弹性瘤（CPFs）是第二常见的原发性心脏肿瘤，是主要累及心脏瓣膜的良性心内膜乳头状瘤。尽管CPFs是罕见的良性肿瘤，但它们可能导致危及生命的并发症。早期诊断这种疾病很重要，因为它是系统性栓塞、心肌梗死、中风、急性瓣膜功能障碍和心源性猝死的一种可通过手术纠正的病因。本综述总结了诊断这种心脏疾病的意义和临床方法。还讨论了CPF的鉴别诊断、组织学特征和当前的治疗策略。
