Abstract

An 84-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a suspected cardiac tumor detected by transthoracic echocardiography performed as a preoperative examination of gastric cancer. In addition to a tumor in the left atrium, we found on cardiac ultrasound a 15-mm mobile tumor that adhered to the aortic valve. Gross findings and histological examination confirmed that the tumor in the left atrium was a cardiac myxoma, and that the tumor adhered to the aortic valve was a papillary fibroelastoma. We experienced a rare case where preoperative examination before gastrectomy accidentally revealed concomitant cardiac tumors.
