Overview

Pathophysiology

Papillary fibroelastoma

  • Primary tumor of the heart that typically involves one of the valves of the heart
  • Papillary fibroelastoma is generally considered benign, and represents 10% of all primary tumors of the heart
  • Papillary fibroelastoma are the third most common type of primary tumor of the heart, behind cardiac myxomas and cardiac fibromas.[1]
  • The pathogenesis of papillary fibroelastoma is characterised by the mechanical effects of the tumor and the transient occlusion of the left main coronary artery (by the tumor), while a heart attack or sudden cardiac death may be due to embolisation of a portion of the tumor into a coronary artery.[2]
