Abstract

We report the first case of echocardiographically detected Lambl's excrescences on the pulmonary valve in a 72-year-old man who was referred for transesophageal echocardiography as a part of an evaluation for ischemic stroke. A total of four excrescences were noted on the arterial aspect of the pulmonary valve; two of them were on the anterior cusp, one was on the left cusp, and one was on the right cusp. The excrescence on the left cusp was the largest, measuring 5 mm in length. These valvular strands (Lambl's excrescences) represented an incidental finding and were not associated with any disease process.
