Synchronous Cardiac Myxoma and Colorectal Cancer: A Case Report

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The occurrence of synchronous but unrelated cardiac and colorectal tumors is extremely rare. We present the case of a 56-year-old man who had a left atrial cardiac myxoma that nearly obstructed the mitral valve outflow tract and an unrelated, synchronous colorectal-vesicle carcinoma that nearly obstructed the lumen of the intestine. The patient underwent emergency resection of the cardiac mass under cardiopulmonary bypass and underwent successful resection of the colorectal mass 2 weeks later. Two years after these operations, the patient is well with no recurrence of either tumor.
