Popis:	The occurrence of synchronous but unrelated cardiac and soft tissue tumours is extremely rare. Here we describe the case of a 62-year-old man who had a left ventricular myxoma and an unrelated synchronous malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The patient first underwent successful resection of the soft tissue tumour and in the same session emergency resection of the cardiac mass under cardiopulmonary bypass. One year after this combined operation, the patient is well, with no recurrence of either tumour.
