Abstract

Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are the most common valvular tumor, typically occurring on left-sided valves. We describe the evaluation and treatment of a giant tricuspid PFE in a healthy 43-year-old police officer who was referred for evaluation of frequent premature ventricular contractions during job-related treadmill stress testing. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
