UNASSIGNED: TB pericarditis presenting as a pericardial mass is an unusual and rare manifestation of this disease. We report a 59-year-old South Asian male who presented with a 1-week history of dyspnea and cough. He was found to have a hemorrhagic pericardial mass with a massive pericardial effusion. Pleural fluid analysis was positive for TB. The patient was successfully treated with anti-TB medications. Although rare, tuberculous pericardial involvement should be suspected in patients presenting with symptoms of pericardial masses and effusion.
■以心包包块表现的TB性心包炎是本病的一种罕见表现。我们报告了一名59岁的南亚男性,他有1周的呼吸困难和咳嗽病史。他被发现有出血性心包肿块和大量心包积液。胸膜液分析为结核阳性。患者成功接受了抗结核药物治疗。虽然罕见,有心包肿块和积液症状的患者应怀疑结核性心包受累。
