Cardiac tumors are rare but should be considered in differential diagnoses for cardiovascular masses. This case describes a 62-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities presenting with neurological symptoms and a cardiac mass identified on imaging. The tumor, confirmed as a papillary fibroelastoma, was surgically removed due to embolic risk. Imaging modalities including echocardiography and cardiac MRI aided in diagnosis and surgical planning, leading to successful excision without complications. This case underscores the importance of recognizing rare cardiac tumors like papillary fibroelastoma, which can cause significant embolic events, necessitating prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent further complications.

We present the challenging case of a patient with severe COVID-19 pneumonia complicated with cardiogenic shock and refractory complete AV block. The patient presented with wall motion abnormalities on echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance revealed finding compatible with myocarditis. Myocardial injury may occur in up to 31% of patients with Covid-19 pneumonia and has been related to increased mortality. However, whether myocardial injury might result from direct damage from the virus or related to complications of the disease is still unclear. Although myocarditis is not common in COVID patients, it should be considered as a possible diagnosis.
