Case report: Minimally invasive excision of multifocal cardiac papillary fibroelastomas involving right atrium and aortic valve.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFs) are rare benign cardiac tumors most commonly found on left-sided cardiac valves. Right atrial CPFs are extremely rare, accounting for only 2% of all CPFs. Median sternotomy is a typical approach for surgical excision of CPFs in most cases. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of multifocal CPFs involving the right atrium and aortic valve that were surgically excised via minimally invasive right anterolateral thoracotomy.Case summaryA 59-year-old Chinese man was admitted because of an incidental finding of a right atrial mass on transthoracic echocardiography during a routine check-up. The mass was initially diagnosed as a myxoma, and the patient was scheduled for minimally invasive excision via right anterolateral thoracotomy. An additional mass on the non-coronary cusp of the aortic valve was identified using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. The patient still underwent complete tumor excision via right anterolateral thoracotomy. Both neoplasms were pathologically diagnosed as CPFs.ConclusionsThis case highlights the need for a comprehensive cardiac evaluation of cardiac tumors because CPFs can manifest as multifocal lesions. Moreover, minimally invasive surgery is highly feasible as the CPF can be easily excised, and the valve can usually be preserved.

Multiple papillary fibroelastomas of the aortic valve detected by real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic images.

Project description:Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a well-known primary cardiac tumor, but multiple PFEs are rare. We report an interesting case with multiple PFEs that were clearly demonstrated and evaluated with real time three-dimensional (RT3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A 77-year-old woman was referred to our institution with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the hip. Transthoracic echocardiography showed an abnormal structure on the aortic valve. Although two-dimensional TEE revealed typical characteristics of multiple PFE, RT3D TEE clearly demonstrated their number and location on the right and non-coronary cusp of the aortic valve. These results were subsequently confirmed by surgery and pathological findings. RT3D TEE is an exceptionally useful tool for pre-surgical evaluation of PFE. <Learning objective: PFE is a well-known primary cardiac tumor, but multiple PFEs are rare.

Clinical presentation and neurovascular manifestations of cardiac myxomas and papillary fibroelastomas: a retrospective single-institution cohort study.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary cardiac tumors are often benign and commonly present as cardiac myxomas (CMs) or papillary fibroelastomas (CPFEs). There is a paucity of prognostic indicators for tumor burden or potential for embolic cerebrovascular events (CVEs). This study was performed to address these gaps.MethodsMedical records at the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital between 1996 and 2021 were screened to identify patients with CMs or CPFEs. Clinical features, echocardiographic reports, and CVE outcomes were quantitatively assessed.ResultsA total of 55 patients were included in the study: 28 CM (50.9%) and 27 CPFE (49.1%) patients. Baseline patient characteristics were similar among patients. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was correlated (p < 0.005 in all cases) to three metrics of tumor size in both CM (r = 64-67%) and CPFE (r = 56-59%). CVEs were the presenting symptom in 30 (54.5%) patients. CVE recurrence was high; the 5-year CVE recurrence rate in patients with tumor resection was 24.0% compared to 60.0% without resection. No baseline patient characteristics or tumor features were associated with an initial presentation of CVEs compared to any other indication. Univariate analysis indicated that prolonged duration to surgical resection, left atrial enlargement, male sex, and a neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio >3.0 at the follow-up were significantly associated with 5-year CVE recurrence. Left atrial enlargement and a neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio >3.0 at the follow-up remained significantly associated with 5-year CVE recurrence in multivariate analysis.ConclusionThe neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio may prognosticate tumor size and recurrence of neurologic events. An increased risk of CVE within 5 years of mass resection is almost exclusive to patients initially presenting with CVEs.

Pathologically Proven Papillary Fibroelastomas Attached to the Left Atrial Appendage and Pulmonary Vein Ridge.

Project description:Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are the most common benign cardiac tumors, typically found on valvular surfaces but less frequently on extravalvular structures. Despite their benign nature, PFEs are associated with serious embolic events. This study analyzes 13 cases of pathology-proven PFEs in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and pulmonary vein ridge. Data on patient demographics, clinical presentations, imaging, and histopathology were reviewed. The median patient age was 73 years, with slight male predominance. Tumor sizes ranged from 2 mm to 20 mm. Twelve PFEs were detected via transesophageal echocardiography, and neurologic events were observed in 4 patients. This case series emphasizes the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis for LAA masses because PFEs can easily be mistaken for thrombi.

Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma presenting as acute stroke.

Project description:We present a case of a young woman who was initially diagnosed with acute stroke with no obvious risk factors. Preliminary investigation with transthoracic echocardiography and subsequent advanced imaging with transoesophageal echocardiography suggested the diagnosis of a benign cardiac tumour on the anterior leaflet of mitral valve. The patient underwent urgent surgical resection. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma. She made complete clinical recovery with no recurrence of symptoms.

Valvular fibroelastomas complicated by <i>Coxiella burnetti</i> endocarditis.

Project description:Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a valvular tumor that may be mistaken for infective endocarditis (IE). We describe a case of CPF complicated by Coxiella burnetti IE. According to Duke's criteria, a diagnosis of IE was repeatedly considered as excluded or established during the clinical course, highlighting the criteria limitations.
