Abstract

We report a case of a 58-year-old woman admitted to the hospital due to one episode of syncope, progressive excercise intolerance, dyspnea, and palpitations since one month. Diagnostic imaging revealed two tumors: cardiac and pulmonary. Cardiac mass arise within left atrium and fall into the left ventricle during systole, mimicking the mitral stenosis. Pulmonary mass was located in 6 bronchopulmonary segment of the left lung and was attached to visceral pleura. It was impossible to perform a fine-needle aspiration due to it’s location behind the aorta. An urgent right mini-thoracotomy and mass resection was performed. The next step was a wedge resection of the lung. Histology showed myxoma of the heart and pulmonary hamartoma. The postoperative course of the patient was uncomplicated.
