title: Papillary fibroelastoma of the mitral valve.
abstract: We present a case of a 69-year-old woman with a history of stroke five years previously and an abnormal ECG prior to eye surgery. There were no signs of cardiac disease. Echocardiography disclosed a tumour of the papillary muscle. Surgical excision was performed and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a papillary fibroelastoma.
