ABSTRACT
Rapidly growing papillary fibroelastoma complicated by myxoma is extremely rare. An 80-year-old male was transported to our hospital because of cerebral hemorrhage. Echocardiogram revealed a massive pedunculated tumor in the septum of the left atrium. The tumor extended to the mitral valve orifice and posed a risk of strangulation, yet removing it immediately would have required cardiopulmonary bypass with anticoagulant, which would have posed a serious risk of rebleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the tumor stalk was sufficiently thick for us to perform a standby surgery 1 month after cerebral hemorrhage. Follow-up echocardiogram prior to this surgery revealed a new, high-mobility tumor in the right ventricular septum. We resected these two tumors together. Histopathological examination showed that the tumor of the left atrium was a myxoma and the tumor of the right ventricle was a papillary fibroelastoma. The patient had a good postoperative course and was discharged without complications.
