Primary cardiac tumors are relatively rare. Among them, papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is the 2nd most common benign cardiac tumor after myxoma. However, despite its benign status, PFE may trigger fatal embolic events in some cases. Therefore, once PFE is diagnosed, immediate surgical resection of the tumor is recommended. We report our experience of 3 patients with cerebral infarction that were diagnosed as having PFE. All cases were complicated with cerebral infarction probably originating from a tumor embolus or thrombus. For that reason, after the tumor had been detected, urgent surgical resection of the tumor was considered to be necessary. Given the generally good postoperative outcomes, simple resection of the tumor while preserving valve function is considered sufficient to achieve a favorable outcome.
