We report a patient with a large mass in the right atrium with tricuspid valve involvement resulting in significant stenosis, which was a tuberculoma without active pulmonary disease. Cardiac tuberculoma is rare and usually involves the pericardium. Myocardial involvement is a very rare occurrence. 

tuberculoma is one of the causes of the space occupying lesions in brain. its manifestations can mimic many diseases such as tumor, vasculitis, and multiple sclerosis.a patient with brain tuberculoma secondary to epidymitis is reported. his symptoms and signs were verysimilar to the patients with multiple sclerosis. the physicians must keep in mind this disease in the differentialdiagnosis with...

OBJECTIVE To study the manifestations of intracranial tuberculoma in Kuwait and to provide guidelines for the diagnosis and management of intracranial tuberculoma in developing countries, where the disease is common and facilities are limited. DESIGN Data were collected from patients with intracranial space-occupying lesions admitted to Adan Hospital Medical Department and the Neurosurgery an...

Brain tuberculoma has previously accounted for up to a third of new intracranial lesions in areas endemic with tuberculosis, but is unexpected in the United States and other Western countries with improved disease control. Here we show the importance of considering this diagnosis in at-risk patients, even with no definitive pulmonary involvement. We describe a young man who presented with parti...

OBJECTIVE Our main aim was to investigate the effect of dynamic and contrast enhanced CT imaging on differential diagnosis of lung carcinoma, pulmonary tuberculoma, inflammatory pseudotumor, and coexisting pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS About, 144 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis as the study subjects were chosen which included: 36 patients with lung carcinoma...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Simultaneous administration of phenytoin and isoniazid (INH) in tuberculous meningitis (TBM) or tuberculoma patients with seizures results in higher plasma phenytoin level and thus phenytoin intoxication. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme catalyses two acetylation reactions in INH metabolism and NAT2 gene polymorphism leads to slow and rapid acetylators. The present st...
