Abstract：
Atrial myxomas are typically found in the left atrium and are the most common among overall rare cardiac tumors. Herein, we describe the clinical course of a 72-year-old female with non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma found to have an atrial mass during an imaging for evaluation for lung cancer progression. Differentiating between distinct types of masses can pose a challenge to the treatment team especially in the setting of exiting malignancy. This case demonstrates the complex decision making involved in the diagnosis, and timing of intervention to remove atrial mass in patients with frailty and a fast-growing cardiac mass.
摘要：
心房粘液瘤通常在左心房中发现，在整体罕见的心脏肿瘤中最常见。在这里，我们描述了一名72岁女性非小细胞肺腺癌患者的临床过程,该患者在评估肺癌进展的影像学检查中发现有心房包块.区分不同类型的肿块可能对治疗团队构成挑战，尤其是在退出恶性肿瘤的情况下。这个案例证明了诊断中涉及的复杂决策，以及对虚弱和心脏质量快速增长的患者进行干预以消除心房质量的时机。
