| Abstract: | A 43-year-old woman presented with an ischemic stroke in the right middle cerebral artery territory. Cardiac echography disclosed a tumor of a primary chordae of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. After neurologic recovery, the patient was referred to surgery for excision of the tumor and plastic reconstruction using a chordal transfer technique. Histological examination of the tumor showed a typical papillary fibroelastoma. Papillary fibroelastoma is the third most frequent cardiac benign tumor. The high embolic potential of this tumor is in favor of an aggressive surgical attitude. |
