Abstract

We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who was admitted with a stroke. Echocardiographic examination revealed a multilobule, highly mobile tumor on the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Surgical exploration showed a tumor infiltrating the valve, the annulus, and the adjacent left ventricular wall, which required complete valve resection. Histologic study demonstrated typical characteristics of a rheumatoid nodule.
