Diagnosis is suggested by echocardiography and confirmed by histopathological examination. The only curative treatment is surgical excision of the tumor under cardiopulmonary bypass. This approach is safe and prevents the risk of recurrent embolism. We report the case of a patient presenting with anginal chest pain. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed a mitral valve tumor. Pathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of fibroelastoma.
