Triküspid kapak yerleşimli papiller fibroelastoma

Papiller fibroelastomalar miksoma ve lipomadan sonraüçüncü sıklıkta görülen kardiyak tümörlerdir. Papillerfibroelastoma valvüler yerleşimli tümörlerin en sık görülenformudur. Papiller fibroelastomalar sıklıkla aort ve mitralkapaklar üzerine yerleşir. Triküspid kapak üzerindeasemptomatik papiller fibroelastoma oldukça nadirdir. Buyazıda, triküspid kapak septal yaprakçıklarında yerleşen1x1.5x1 cm boyutlarında papiller fibroelastoması olan75 yaşında kadın hasta sunuldu.

Papillary fibroelastoma located on tricuspid valve

Papillary fibroelastomas are the third most commoncardiac tumors after myxoma and lipoma. Papillaryfibroelastoma is the most common tumors located oncardiac valves. Papillary fibroelastomas are commonlylocated on aortic and mitral valves. Asymptomaticpapillary fibroelastoma on tricuspid valve is extremelyrare.
