Supports feasibility of one-stage mini-thoracotomy resection for concomitant tumors; leaves open broader applicability and comparative outcomes.
We report a case of a 74-year-old man with diagnosis of concomitant primary cardiac tumor and right upper lobe of lung cancer. Both tumors were evaluated to be resectable with no further metastasis. A one-stage resection of both tumors through right mini-thoracotomy with endoscopic assistance was performed. The cardiac tumor resection during cardiopulmonary bypass was performed first, followed by right upper lobectomy and lymph nodes dissection with the same incision and position. Short-term results were satisfying and previous literature was reviewed to evaluate this method.
