Synchronous Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Auricular Myxoma

Abstract EN

Synchronic occurrence of benign and malignant tumors is extremely rare.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma represents 1% to 2% of all hepatocarcinomas, while myxomas represent about half of all the cases of primary tumors of the heart.

We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with a left atrial myxoma that was surgically removed.

Several weeks later, the patient returned to the hospital with abdominal pain.

CT scan showed a mass in the left lobe of the liver that was resected and diagnosed as fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

As of this writing, the patient is healthy.
