Abstract

Cardiac tumors are rare but should be considered in differential diagnoses for cardiovascular masses. This case describes a 62-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities presenting with neurological symptoms and a cardiac mass identified on imaging. The tumor, confirmed as a papillary fibroelastoma, was surgically removed due to embolic risk. Imaging modalities including echocardiography and cardiac MRI aided in diagnosis and surgical planning, leading to successful excision without complications. This case underscores the importance of recognizing rare cardiac tumors like papillary fibroelastoma, which can cause significant embolic events, necessitating prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent further complications.
