Popis: This report describes the successful treatment of a case of cardiac adenocarcinoma with the clinical presentation as Budd-Chiari syndrome. Complete surgical excision of the atriocaval mass was successfully achieved under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Histopathological diagnosis of this tumor was tubular adenocarcinoma with positive immunostaining by carcinoembrionic antigen. Subsequent systemic search could not detect any evidence of extra-cardiac primary site and distant metastatic lesion. A 2-year follow-up without any adjuvant therapy revealed no sign of recurrence.
