Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present a case involving a tumor-like mass in the left atrium of a 27-year-old woman in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The mass was discovered by echocardiography carried out after cardiomegaly was detected by roentgenography performed in the context of debilitated general condition, fever and positive serology for HIV1. The patient responded favorably to anti-tuberculosis treatment with complete regression of the mass and improvement of general condition. Based on this outcome, the most likely diagnosis was cardiac tuberculoma, a rare complication of tuberculosis.
