These benign masses are commonly found on valvular surfaces, particularly the aortic valve.
METHODS: We present a patient with a history of embolic stroke and intra-cardiac masses. Multimodal imaging revealed multiple nodules with extensive intra-cardiac distribution. All nodules were successfully removed without valve dysfunction.
CONCLUSIONS: This is a unique case of multiple PFE involving intracardiac cavities as well as all valvular structures.
