A Case Report of a Papillary Fibroelastoma Arising from the Left Ventricular Outflow Septum Just Beneath the Aortic Valve

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. (J Nippon Med Sch 2008; 75: 239―241)
