title: Case report of a papillary fibroelastoma arising from the left ventricular outflow septum just beneath the aortic valve.
abstract: Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are rare benign tumors with frond-like growths that typically involve the native valve tissue. Papillary fibroelastomas originate less commonly in the ventricular septum. We report a rare case of fibroelastoma arising from the left ventricle.
