Papillary fibroelastomas (PFs) are small and pedunculated left side valves associated mass, that frequently causing cerebral embolization. We present the case of a 69-year-old male with a history of multiple ischemic strokes and a small pedunculated mass in the left ventricle outflow tract, highly suggestive of a rare case of PF in an atypical localization. Due to the clinical history and the echocardiographic aspect of the mass, he underwent surgical excision and Bentall intervention for concomitant aortic root and ascending aorta aneurysm. The pathological analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of PF.
乳头状纤维弹性瘤(PFs)是一种小的、有蒂的附着于左侧瓣膜的肿物,常导致脑栓塞。我们报告一例69岁男性病例,有多次缺血性中风病史,左心室流出道有一个小的有蒂肿物,高度提示为罕见的非典型部位的PF病例。鉴于该肿物的临床病史和超声心动图表现,他接受了手术切除,并因合并主动脉根部和升主动脉瘤而进行了Bentall手术。手术标本的病理分析证实了PF的诊断。
