“…Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas and intracardiac thrombus are often valvular ( 43 , 46 , 47 ). The cavernous hemangiomas are isointense masses on magnetic resonance imaging ( 43 , 48 ). However, malignant cardiac tumors, most commonly cardiac rhabdomyosarcomas, angiosarcomas, myxosarcomas, and malignant fibrous histiocytomas, resemble a myxoma on echocardiography; therefore, differential diagnoses is likely to be difficult ( 43 ).…”

A cardiac myxoma may manifest as miscellaneous and uncharacteristic presentations. These unusual aspects of cardiac myxomas can be rare clinical presentations, special patient populations, unusual locations, and special pathology, which may lead to a delayed diagnosis, improper checkups, and subsequent untimely treatment, eventually resulting in unexpected poor prognosis. Therefore, the diagnosis of cardiac myxomas can be challenging because of these unusual aspects. In order to get a better understanding of a cardiac myxoma and to facilitate an early diagnosis and proper treatment, the unusual aspects of cardiac myxomas are described here.

“…Un trauma hemodinámico repetido puede contribuir a su desarrollo, como ha sido reportado en asociación con enfermedades resultantes de un flujo anormal de sangre en las cavidades cardía-cas que incluye la enfermedad reumática, cardiomiopatia hipertrófica, prolapso mitral y defectos del septum auricular, entre otras enfermedades 19 . Sin embargo, los mecanismos por los cuales tales anormalidades hemodinámicas contribuyen al crecimiento no están del todo claras.…”

RESUMENLos tumores cardíacos son una causa rara de accidente cerebrovascular embólico. Comunicamos el caso de una paciente de 65 años quien debuta su historia con un accidente cerebrovascular. El estudio de fuente embólica con ecocardiografía transesofágica demostró un fibroelastoma de la válvula aórtica en el borde libre del velo no coronariano. El tumor fue extraído mediante circulación extracorpórea. El estudio anatomopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico y la paciente se encuentra en capacidad funcional I y sin síntomas neurológicos a 19 meses de seguimiento.PALABRAS CLAVE: Procedimientos quirúrgicos cardíacos, válvulas cardíacas, válvula aórtica, tumores cardíacos. ABSTRACTBackground: Cardiac tumors are an infrequent cause of an embolic source and aortic fibroelastoma is even more rare as causative of a stroke. We report a 65 year old female with no particular clinical history admitted to the hospital with an embolic cerebrovascular accident whose embolic source study with a transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a fibroelastoma in the free edge of the non coronarian leaflet of the aortic valve. The patient was subjected to surgery by means of extracorporeal circulation and the tumor was excised. The pathological study confirmed the diagnosis. Post operative recovery was uneventful with no neurological damage and after 19 months of follow up she is in functional class I.
