Fibroelastoma is a rare cardiac tumor that was originally described typically from autopsy findings. Thanks to improved imaging modalities, such tumors are today relatively easy to detect and therefore are actively searched for in patients with unclear embolic events. We present the cases of 2 patients recently treated in our clinic and review the recent literature pertaining to fibroelastomas.
