Key result
Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization successfully demonstrated a papillary elastofibroma of the left ventricular septum preoperatively in a single case.
Case Report (n=1)
Papillary elastofibromas, typically incidental autopsy findings, can be diagnosed preoperatively using echocardiography and cardiac catheterization.

May enable antemortem diagnosis of tumors previously found only at autopsy; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger series.
Flotte et al. (1980) conducted a case report in Papillary elastofibroma of the left ventricular septum (n=1). Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization was evaluated on Preoperative demonstration of the lesion. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization successfully demonstrated a papillary elastofibroma of the left ventricular septum preoperatively in a single case.
