Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare. Among them, papillary
fibroelastomas (PFEs) are the third most common. These tumors are often
incidental findings but can also precipitate a myriad of clinical
presentations, mainly embolic events. Most common in the left-sided
valves, PFEs rarely occur in the right side of the heart. They are
usually resected surgically following diagnosis, thwarting assessment of
their natural history. We present the case of a woman diagnosed with
pulmonary valve PFE following recurrent pulmonary embolism who did not
undergo surgery, allowing for an extended follow-up of the condition.
