Abstract
Right-sided forms account for one-fourth of endomyocardial fibrosis cases in central Africa. A 50-year-old female patient with endo- myocardial fibrosis presented with unusual calcifications of the right ventricular endocardium that embedded the tricuspid valve papillary muscles. Bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement together with right ventricular endocardectomy was performed with a good clinical outcome.
