Abstract: Background It is very common for patients with newly diagnosed lung masses to have heart disease. However, papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) of the tricuspid valve (TV) combined with lung cancer are rarely reported. It is thus unclear whether a two-stage surgery or concomitant surgery is optimal. Case presentation We report the case of a 73-year-old Chinese male who was diagnosed with PFEs on the TV by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examination… Show more

“…Additionally, our search indicates that instances of two tumors occurring simultaneously are not unusual. For instance, Wang reported a case of a 73-year-old male diagnosed with papillary fibroelastomas of the tricuspid valve in combination with lung cancer [ 28 ]. Thymic cysts have also been documented to evolve into thymic carcinoma, which subsequently metastasizes to the lungs [ 29 ].…”
