Abstract:
We report a case of concomitant left ventricular tumor and lung lesion with ground-glass opacity without preoperative confirmation of malignancy. To obtain definitive diagnosis, a wedge lung resection was performed through a median sternotomy. After confirmation of a negative margin by frozen section, the cardiac tumor was resected through a left anterior ventriculotomy. Histopathologic analysis identified a rare cardiac hemangioma and an adenocarcinoma with pTis, N0, M0, stage 0. Postoperative recovery was uneventful with intact cardiopulmonary functions despite the risk of low cardiac output attributable to ventriculotomy.
