Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is a pathologically benign cardiac tumor. This tumor usually arises from cardiac valves, and it is the most common cardiac valvular tumor. This usually single and pedunculated tumor should be surgically treated when the mass is mobile and the patient has experienced a prior stroke, even if the stroke has manifested as a transient ischemic attack. Surgical treatment is definitive, and no recurrences have been reported in the literature. We describe a patient who had a diagnosis of CPF while undergoing investigation for a cryptogenic stroke.References
