Abstract
Papillary fibroelastoma of the heart is an uncommon benign tumor that usually originates on the heart's valve structures. Instances of nonvalvular papillary fibroelastomas are exceptionally scarce. In this Case Presentation we reported a 46- year old woman presented with positional vertigo and exertional dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mobile oval shape mass in left ventricle at the site of antrolateral papillary muscle and According to Cardiac magnetic resonance a benign avascular intracavity left ventricle mass is noted highly suggestive for a large papillary fibroelastoma. The tumor was completely resected and the pathological diagnosis was papillary fibroelastoma.
