Pulmonic valve papillary fibroelastomas are rarely seen tumors of the cardiac valves. In this case, a pulmonic valve mass was seen on echocardiogram, which was diagnosed as papillary fibroelastoma due to characteristic imaging findings. Complications of pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension were present. Due to contraindications, the patient was managed with anticoagulation instead of surgery.
