Abstract:
Papillary fibroelastomes are rare benign neoformations usually
originating from the valvular endocardium, presenting with cerebral
ischemia and/or myocardial infarction due to embolization from the mass.
We report an exceedingly rare case of aortic wall papillary
fibroelastoma simulating unstable angina, diagnosed with
trans-thoracic/trans-esophageal echocardiography and CT scan and
surgically successfully removed.
