Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign cardiac tumor that can cause multiple emboli. We report herein a case of papillary fibroelastoma developing from the chordae of the tricuspid valve which was detected by echocardiography and confirmed by surgical resection. To our knowledge, this is only the fifth documented case of a tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma detected by echocardiography in a living patient.
乳头肌弹性纤维瘤是一种罕见的良性心脏肿瘤，可导致多发性栓子形成。我们在此报告一例起源于三尖瓣腱索的乳头肌弹性纤维瘤病例，该病例通过超声心动图检测到，并经手术切除证实。据我们所知，这是超声心动图检测到的活体患者三尖瓣乳头肌弹性纤维瘤的第五例文献记载病例。
