Papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve is a rare primary cardiac tumor which may potentially become a source of embolization. Our paper reports the case of a young asymptomatic man with papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve indicated for surgery. The procedure was successful in removing the tumor while sparing the aortic valve.
