ABSTRACT
Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare benign cardiac tumor generally arising from the valvular endocardium. We report an extremely rare case of PFE arising from the left atrial wall. A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of left atrial tumor. Echocardiography and enhanced computed tomography showed an approximately 14 mm mass on the left atrial wall. Moreover, the magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperintenseness on a T2-weighted image. We diagnosed the tumor as a myxoma. Intraoperatively, we found a mobile tumor on the left atrial wall. It had a sea anemone-like appearance and was suspected to be PFE. We performed the tumor resection including the left atrial wall. Histological examination confirmed PFE. His postoperative course was uneventful.
