Keywords Cardiac Fibroelastoma; Stroke; Mixomas Introduction Primary cardiac tumors are rare and most of them are benign masses originating from valvular endocardium. The most common cardiac tumors are mixomas. Cardiac fibroelastomas which constitute 10% of all cardiac tumors are the second most common neoplasms [1]. Papillary fibroelastomas (PFE) are usually seen in the left side of the heart and in valvular structures. The most often affected valvular structure is non-coronary leaflet of the aortic valve [2]. They can cause different clinical conditions such as acute strokes without an obvious risk factor, arrhythmias and heart failure [3]. We present a case report about a patient with a fibroelastoma in chordae tendinea of anterior leaflet of mitral valve. He was applied to emergency department with acute stroke. At the end of his acute treatment, he was consulted to cardiology for etiological research. Case Report A 47 year old male patient applied to emergency department with aphasia. His medical history is totally normal. Left middle cerebral artery infarct was found and acute ischemic stroke treatment was given to the patient with ASA 300 mg and LMWH 0.6 cc twice a day. The patient’s signs and symptoms recovered completely day by day. Etiological screening for stroke was planned. His immunological panel for lupus and Bechtel’s disease and thrombophilia screen was negative. His cardiovascular examination was insignificant with normal sinus rhythm and normal transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) findings. After relief of his symptoms, the patient was referred to our cardiology department for further examination about cardio embolic causes. We planned advanced imaging with 2D and 3D Trans Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Research An Open Access Journal
