A 51-year-old woman was referred
to our hospital for investigation of an abnormal ECG. Transesophageal
echocardiogram revealed a round mass which originated from the
right coronary cusp of the aortic valve. The tumor was successfully
excised from the aortic valve, and the postoperative echocardiogram
showed normal aortic valve function. Pathological examination
demonstrated papillary fibroelastoma.
