　　心脏乳头状弹力纤维瘤（PFEs）是一种罕见的良性心脏肿瘤，通常位于左心瓣膜上。PFEs对心脏血流动力学和瓣膜功能影响微弱，所以大多数患者无临床症状，但也可能会出现危及生命的并发症。PFEs在经胸超声心动图检查、心脏手术和尸检中偶有发现。PFEs的治疗方法目前还存在争议。该病的发病率及危险因素尚无确切报道。随着超声心动检查技术的发展和普及，该病的检出率不断提高。

Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a generally rare benign cardiac tumor, which commonly involves left heart valves. Since having minimal effect on hemodynamics and valvular function, the majority of patients suffering from PFE are free of any symptom. However, some life-threatening complications might occur in these patients. These tumors are usually diagnosed incidentally during transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiac surgery and at autopsy. The management remains undefined and controversial. The incidence and risk factors of the disease have not been reported yet. The development and popularization of echocardiography has resulted in an increase in its detection rate.
