Papillary fibroelastomas are rare cardiac tumors, but they are the most common primary tumor of the heart valves. These lesions occur on any of the valves or endothelial surfaces of the heart and may be detected by echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, during open heart operation for other conditions, or at autopsy. Because of their potential for cerebral and coronary embolization, even small papillary fibroelastomas should be excised.
乳头状纤维弹性瘤是一种罕见的心脏肿瘤，但却是心脏瓣膜最常见的原发性肿瘤。这些病变可发生于心脏的任何瓣膜或内皮表面，可通过超声心动图、心导管检查、在因其他疾病进行心脏直视手术期间或尸检时发现。由于它们有导致脑和冠状动脉栓塞的可能性，即使是小的乳头状纤维弹性瘤也应切除。
