| Abstract | Cardio-oncology, at the intersection of cardiovascular diseases, oncological conditions, and treatments, presents unique challenges in medical care. This abstract highlights a case involving a 60-year-old male presenting with syncope at work; the workup revealed a rapidly growing tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma (PFE), emphasizing diagnostic approaches, management strategies, and clinical implications. The diagnostic investigation, including blood cultures, transthoracic echocardiogram, transesophageal echocardiogram, and cardiac MRI, confirmed the diagnosis of tricuspid valve PFE. A multidisciplinary approach led to a shared decision with the patient to opt for serial monitoring. Syncope was attributed to dehydration. This case underscores the complexities of managing cardiovascular conditions in the context of oncology and the importance of collaborative decision-making in patient care. |
