ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La asociación de dos tumores de diferente origen en un mismo paciente es cada vez más frecuente en la práctica clínica actual. Se presenta un caso con una rara asociación de mixoma cardíaco e hipernefroma, previamente tratado. Ante la presencia de manifestaciones neurológicas, inicialmente se planteó el diagnóstico de metástasis cerebral del tumor renal; luego, con el hallazgo ecocardiográfico de una masa intracardíaca, se pensó en la posibilidad de trombo, por lo que se decidió practicar cirugía cardíaca con carácter urgente para resecarla. El estudio anatomopatológico confirmó la existencia de un mixoma cardíaco, por lo que se trata de un enfermo con dos enfermedades tumorales cuya coincidencia ha sido pocas veces descrita.


ABSTRACT The association of two tumors of different origin in the same patient is becoming more frequent in the current clinical practice. Here is presented a case with a rare association of cardiac myxoma and hypernephroma, previously treated. Due to the presence of neurological symptoms, there was initially set a diagnosis of brain metastasis from the renal tumor; then, with the echocardiographic finding of an intracardiac mass, the possibility of thrombus was considered, therefore a cardiac surgery was decided to be performed urgently in order to resect it. The pathologic examination confirmed the existence of a cardiac myxoma, then, we have a patient with two tumor diseases whose coincidence has been rarely described.
