Methods Six cases of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma which were treated in our hospital in the re-cent 10 years were reviewed retrospectively. All the cases of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma were stained routinely by HE and an elastic stain. Results The typical tumor showed the appearance of sea anemone. It was coated by a layer of endothelial cells, and fine papil-lary branches can be observed under a microscope. There were some elastic fibers in the tumor. The patients were followed for 3 months to 8 years, and no recurrence was observed. Conclusion Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas is rare, and it is a primary benign tumor of the heart valves.
