Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are unusual, frond-like growths typically found on cardiac valves, diagnosed incidentally on autopsy or cardiac surgery, but rarely during life. We report a rare case of an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma detected by transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by histologic study.
心脏乳头状纤维弹性瘤较为罕见，呈叶状生长，通常见于心脏瓣膜，多在尸检或心脏手术时偶然发现，生前很少被诊断出来。我们报告了一例罕见的经胸超声心动图检测到并经组织学研究证实的主动脉瓣乳头状纤维弹性瘤病例。
