Abstract

Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare benign lesion of heart (1). It is the second most common primary cardiac neoplasm, accounting for 4.4-8% of all tumors of the heart (2). We described a forensic autopsy of a nearly drowned young man with cardiac papillary fibroelastoma who died because of a pulmonary inflammatory infiltration rich in granulocytes after intensive care. This occurrence is rare but possible and should be kept in mind because a lung inflammatory infiltrate rich in eosinophilic granulocytes can be present in different pathological conditions and differential diagnoses are often difficult to do.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 February 2018.
All research outputs
#17,926,658
of 23,016,919 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Medicine
#3,680
of 5,792 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#332,974
of 473,640 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Medicine
#61
of 89 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,016,919 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,792 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.4. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 473,640 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 89 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
