Core Tip	This case series presents three instances of aortic valve fibroelastoma detected during endoscopic ultrasound for pancreatic and biliary pathologies. These serendipitous findings highlight the potential of endoscopic ultrasound in identifying subtle cardiac lesions during gastrointestinal evaluations. These cases raise important questions regarding the true prevalence of fibroelastomas and highlight the need for established guidelines for their management and surveillance. This series emphasizes the importance of thorough assessments and multidisciplinary approaches in managing unexpected discoveries, while also highlighting the potential thromboembolic risks associated with fibroelastomas and the challenges in determining appropriate management strategies for asymptomatic patients.
