Papillary fibroelastoma is the third most common primary benign cardiac tumor typically found on the endocardium of heart valves, most often left-heart ones. The authors present the case of a 52-year-old patient experiencing recurrent cardioembolic stroke involving the cerebral arteries secondary to a fibroelastoma originating from the free left ventricular wall and, given its symptomatic nature, indicated for surgical excision.
