Popis: The association of two tumors of different origin in the same patient is becoming more frequent in the current clinical practice. Here is presented a case with a rare association of cardiac myxoma and hypernephroma, previously treated. Due to the presence of neurological symptoms, there was initially set a diagnosis of brain metastasis from the renal tumor; then, with the echocardiographic finding of an intracardiac mass, the possibility of thrombus was considered, therefore a cardiac surgery was decided to be performed urgently in order to resect it. The pathologic examination confirmed the existence of a cardiac myxoma, then, we have a patient with two tumor diseases whose coincidence has been rarely described.
