Abstract
Papillary fibroelastomas are rare and benign heart tumors. We present two cases with
these lesions. A young female patient with cerebral infarction was operated to resect
the tumour on the mitral valve and the valve was successfully repaired. Another male
patient had a history of bradycardia. On examination, coronary stenosis and a tumor
in the left ventricle was found. Tumor excision combined with aorto-coronary artery
bypass grafting was performed. Echocardiography proved to be highly effective to diagonose
these tumors. Because of the potential cerebral and coronary embolization, these tumors
should be excised. Surgical results are good.
