Papillary fibroelastomas comprise approximately 7.9% of benign primary cardiac tumors. Although papillary fibroelastomas were at first discovered incidentally at autopsy or during heart surgery, these tumors are increasingly being identified by echocardiography. This article reviews those papillary fibroelastomas detected by transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography and discusses the echocardiographic features of these tumors, associated symptoms, and management. Echocardiography is important in influencing management decisions regarding excision, valve replacement, and valve repair.
乳头状纤维弹性瘤约占原发性心脏良性肿瘤的7.9%。尽管乳头状纤维弹性瘤最初是在尸检或心脏手术中偶然发现的，但现在越来越多地通过超声心动图来识别。本文回顾了经胸或经食管超声心动图检测到的乳头状纤维弹性瘤，并讨论了这些肿瘤的超声心动图特征、相关症状及治疗。超声心动图对于影响有关切除、瓣膜置换和瓣膜修复的治疗决策很重要。
