A tricuspid valve mass was identified on echocardiogram in a 69-year-old man with ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism, and pneumonia; he died with progressive respiratory insufficiency. The abnormal mass was ascribed initially to infective endocarditis, and the diagnosis at autopsy was fibrolipoma, a benign tumor. Although rare, valve tumors should be included in the differential diagnosis of abnormal valve masses identified on echocardiogram.
一名69岁患有缺血性心脏病、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、肺栓塞和肺炎的男性在超声心动图检查中发现三尖瓣有肿物；他因进行性呼吸功能不全死亡。最初将该异常肿物归因于感染性心内膜炎，尸检诊断为纤维脂肪瘤，一种良性肿瘤。尽管罕见，但瓣膜肿瘤应纳入超声心动图发现的异常瓣膜肿物的鉴别诊断中。
