Abstract
The authors report the case of a young patient with a tumour of the right atrium and right ventricular outflow tract without visceral complications but with multiple muscular and skin localisations. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was made on biopsy of a suppurating skin lesion. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was made on biopsy of a suppurating skin lesion. Anti-tuberculosis treatment resulted in regression of these tumours, especially the cardiac lesions, confirmed by transoesophageal echocardiography.
