Cardiac myxomas are rare tumors. Esophageal adenocarcinomas are common tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Simultaneous occurrence of these tumors has not been reported. A 52-year-old gentleman presented to our hospital with dysphagia and was diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma. Routine echocardiography discovered a cardiac tumor in the left atrium. The cardiac tumor was surgically removed and biopsy confirmed a myxoma. We removed the cardiac tumor as the first step and then initiated neoadjuvant chemotherapy. It is ideal to constitute a multidisciplinary team to decide on the course of treatment in such cases.
心脏黏液瘤是罕见肿瘤。食管腺癌是胃肠道常见肿瘤。这些肿瘤同时发生的情况尚未见报道。一名52岁男性因吞咽困难到我院就诊，被诊断为食管腺癌。常规超声心动图检查发现左心房有一个心脏肿瘤。该心脏肿瘤经手术切除，活检证实为黏液瘤。我们首先切除了心脏肿瘤，然后开始新辅助化疗。在这种情况下，组建一个多学科团队来决定治疗方案是理想的。
