- A unique case of extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection is presented, mimicking a tumor with several complications.
- The patient exhibited a large intrahepatic mass, a psoas abscess, multiple lesions in the brain, and an obstructive mass in the right ventricle.
- The case highlights the specific type of mycobacterium involved and notes the rarity of macronodular hepatic abscesses and the exceptional nature of cardiac abscesses.
Article Abstract
We report one case of extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection, in the absence of HIV infection, singular by a clinical presentation simulating a tumor, associating a bulky intrahepatic mass, an abscess of the psoas, multiple intracerebral lesions, and an obstructive intracardiac mass of the right ventricle, which required a surgical resection. We comment the type of the mycobacterium involved and the hepatic and cardiac localisations, since macronodular hepatic abscesses are rare, and cardiac abcesses, exceptional.
