Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is an infrequently and often incidentally encountered benign tumour found on the endocardium. We describe the case of a patient with a small, mobile, calcified mass on the tricuspid valve incidentally seen during radioscopy for cardiac catheterization. Echocardiography revealed a rounded, bulky shaped and calcified tumour. At histopathology a PFE with extensive dystrophic calcifications was found. To our knowledge this is the second case report of calcified PFE.
乳头肌纤维弹性瘤（PFE）是一种在内膜上发现的罕见且常为偶然发现的良性肿瘤。我们描述了一例患者，在心脏导管检查的放射检查中偶然发现三尖瓣上有一个小的、可移动的钙化肿块。超声心动图显示为圆形、体积较大且钙化的肿瘤。组织病理学检查发现是一个伴有广泛营养不良性钙化的乳头肌纤维弹性瘤。据我们所知，这是钙化性乳头肌纤维弹性瘤的第二例病例报告。
