Recurrent cardiac papillary fibroelastoma with multiple organ embolism. Is it really benign? A case report

Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are the second most common benign heart tumor after myxomas. They are usually asymptomatic but may cause embolic symptoms. In this case report, we present a patient who developed acute thrombosis in the lower extremity and was operated for cardiac papillary fibroelastoma in addition to embolectomy. In addition, tumor recurrence developed 2 years later, multiple embolisms occurred in the kidney and spleen, and aortic valve replacement was performed.
