title: [Aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma in a patient with mitral valve regurgitation].
abstract: Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare cardiac tumour. We describe a patient with mitral valve regurgitation and aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma. The patient was 62-year-old woman. She was referred to us for surgical treatment of mitral valve. Preoperative echocardiography showed rheumatic mitral valve regurgitation (Sellers grade III) and it also demonstrated mobile masses of the aortic valve. At operation, mitral valve was repaired by a posterior annuloplasty. Through the aortotomy, small tumors were found to be attached to each cusps of the aortic valve and they were successfully removed. The histopathologic diagnosis was papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve. The postoperative course was uneventful.
