RESUMO
Scimitar syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson-White association has not been reported during the era of catheter ablation. We present our personal experience with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, a technical challenge related with Scimitar's anatomical variants and follow-up after surgical repair of the latter.

Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign cardiac tumor. Before echocardiogram came into existence, it was diagnosed only by necropsy or incidentally at surgery. This kind of tumor may appear on the endocardial surface or in any of the valves. Although it is usually small in size, it is associated to embolic phenomena, thoracic pain and sudden death. This report presents the first case of papillary fibroelastoma in the presence of a mechanical valvular prosthesis in mitral position. In a patient 55 years old, presenting inactive rheumatic heart disease. The tumor was detected by means of transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram.
