Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges Associated With Left Ventricular Tumors

Cardiac tumors are uncommon. Sometimes it is challenging to differentiate non-invasively between different kinds of cardiac tumors and thrombi, which is critical to dictate the subsequent treatment. In addition, not all high-risk cardiac tumors are amenable to surgical resection posing a therapeutic...

description Cardiac tumors are uncommon. Sometimes it is challenging to differentiate non-invasively between different kinds of cardiac tumors and thrombi, which is critical to dictate the subsequent treatment. In addition, not all high-risk cardiac tumors are amenable to surgical resection posing a therapeutic challenge. We report a case of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma in the left ventricular cavity with a 10-year follow-up, with no embolic complications.
