Abstract
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign, slow –growing tumor of endocardium that my have a malignant propensity for live-threatening complications. The histogenesis remains controversial; an iatrogenic origin has been suggested. Localization in the left ventricular outflow tract is extremely rare. We describe a case of left ventricle fibroelastoma in patient with previous chest radiotherapy, seeming to support the iatrogenic hypothesis.
