Papillary fibroelastoma is a relatively rare cardiac tumor. We report two cases of papillary fibroelastoma. The first case involved a 45-year-old woman who presented with rheumatic valves and three tumors developing from the papillary muscle and left ventricle. The second case involved a 68-year-old man who was asymptomatic and whose tumor was detected incidentally on echocardiogram. Both cases were treated surgically. An additional 71 cases of papillary fibroelastoma reported in the medical literature in Japan are reviewed.
