Tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma in an adult patient: a case report and review of literature
Tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma is still a rare benign cardiac tumor. Echocardiography serves as a reliable diagnostic tool. By reviewing the literature, we suggest that for tricuspid valve PFE with right-sided embolism and with a diameter greater than 5 mm, early surgical resection should be considered to prevent serious complications such as embolization.
