ABSTRACT
An 80-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a cardiac tumor on the aortic valve by echocardiography. Papillary fibroelastoma(PFE) was strongly suspected, and urgent operation was performed to prevent embolism. Two tumors were identified arising from the left and right cusps with wide stalks, and aortic valve replacement was performed. By pathological examination, the tumors were diagnosed as PFEs. A small tumor was also found on the non-coronary cusp, which was considered as possible PFE or Lambl's excrescence. In the case of multiple PFEs on one valve, valve replacement, instead of simple excision of tumors, should be considered.
