Cardiac myxoma
associated with coronary artery disease is a rare pathology in an elderly
patient. Herein we present an 81-year-old woman undergoing simultaneous surgical
treatment for left atrial myxoma combined with coronary artery disease. The
postoperative course of the patient was uneventful. The initial removal of mass
should be performed to prevent systemic embolization of tumor fragments.
