Abstract
Papillary fibroelastoma is the third most common type of primary cardiac tumour. Even though the majority of patients with these tumours are asymptomatic, they may present with embolic phenomena, syncope and death. This report describes a patient with papillary fibroelastomas affecting all three cusps of the aortic valve, with accompanying transoesophageal echocardiography and images of surgical specimens of the tumours.
