Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Tuberculosis (TB) pericarditis, while uncommon, should be considered in patients with pericardial masses and effusion. Timely recognition and treatment with anti-TB medications are crucial for a successful outcome.
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.

摘要：
■结核（TB）心包炎，虽然不常见，心包肿块和积液患者应考虑。及时识别和使用抗结核药物治疗对于成功的结果至关重要。
■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。
