Key result
Surgical resection of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma yields uneventful recovery with no recurrence at 1 year.
Why the study?
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a benign endocardial tumor with a risk of embolic events and hemodynamic complications, requiring clinical awareness for diagnosis and treatment.
Case Report (n=1)
Surgical resection of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma can be performed safely with excellent long-term prognosis and prevention of thromboembolic events.

Documents rare pulmonary-vein origin of fibroelastoma; leaves open whether site alters embolic risk or resection strategy.
Lu et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Postoperative course and tumor recurrence. Surgical resection of a cardiac papillary fibroelastoma resulted in an uneventful recovery with no neurologic deficits or tumor recurrence at 1 year of follow-up.
