Abstract (EN): We report the case of a young male patient referred to our hospital after having a stroke due to a papillary fibroelastoma arising from a mitral valve chorda. The tumor was identified by two-dimensional echocardiography and was treated by surgery with preservation of valve integrity. Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma as an uncommon source of cerebral emboli is discussed.
