Multimodality Imaging of Right-Sided (Tricuspid Valve) Papillary Fibroelastoma: Recognition of a Surgically Remediable Disease

Presentation of an increasingly recognized right-sided primary valve tumor of clinical importance: the tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma (PF). Early recognition and surgical intervention is emphasized for valvular PF, which carries a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. Newer imaging techniques, including CT and MRI, assist in localizing and differentiating PF from alternative cardiac pathology.
