Subsequent surgery involved mitral valve replacement and excision of the masses. Complete excision was confirmed by intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography. Histologic examination of the surgical specimens showed typical papillary fibroelastomas. This is the first case report of multiple papillary fibroelastomas in association with rheumatic valvular disease demonstrated by 2-dimensional echocardiography. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10403 | ORCID: | Journal: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1759925 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Female Fibroma.complications.pathology.ultrasonography Heart Neoplasms.complications.pathology.ultrasonography Humans Middle Aged Mitral Valve Mitral Valve Stenosis.complications Neoplasms, Multiple Primary.pathology.ultrasonography Papillary Muscles Rheumatic Heart Disease.complications |
