ABSTRACT
Papillary fibroelastoma is a seldom reported tumour. It usually occurs in adults and develops on the aortic and mitral valves. It is not different of giant Lambl excrescences and differential diagnostic can be difficult with the myxoma. Its systematic surgical ablation is justified by the important risk of embolic complications. It has rarely been reported in children. We report a case peculiar by fortuitous diagnostic, tricuspid site, large size and occurrence in a 3-year old child.
