RESUMO
We report a case of myocardial infarction secondary to coronary embolization of a papillary fibroelastoma of the anterior mitral leaflet. The patient underwent successful operation. The English literature describes only 9 other surgically excised papillary fibroelastomas of the mitral valve. In 5 of these cases, the patient presented with signs of cerebral or coronary embolization.
