Abstract

We report the case of a 41-year-old woman who presented with extensive papillary fibroelastomas of the heart after multiple previous surgical procedures for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This case is significant because of the locally aggressive nature of the cardiac papillary fibroelastoma.
