"Triple Trouble" in A Case of Mass Lesion

Bronchogenic carcinoma, the commonest lung tumor occurs more frequently in the elderly with typical symptoms of cough, haemoptysis, weight loss, dyspnoea or chest pain. These symptoms mimic common respiratory infections in en-demic areas like pulmonary tuberculosis. Also, metastasis at presentation itself is common, the favoured sites being liver, contra-lateral lungs, bones, brain, etc., although unusual and rare sites like heart also are known. We herein report a rare association of both carcinoma with active pulmonary tuberculosis in the same lobe associated with intracardiac metastasis. Very few cases have been published describing lung carcinoma with intracardiac metastasis. We hope the documentation of this rare case will shed further light into the subject area and improve clinical education.
