This case study details a rare extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection presenting as a tumor. The infection involved the liver, psoas muscle, brain, and heart, necessitating surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Extrapulmonary mycobacterial infections are uncommon, particularly in non-HIV individuals.
  • Mycobacterial infections can present with diverse and complex clinical manifestations.
  • Tumor-like presentations of infections pose diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A singular case of extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection is presented.
  • The patient, negative for HIV, exhibited symptoms mimicking a tumor.
  • Clinical findings included a large intrahepatic mass, psoas abscess, multiple intracerebral lesions, and an obstructive right ventricular intracardiac mass.

Findings:

  • The mycobacterium species involved was identified.
  • The case highlights rare hepatic (macronodular abscesses) and exceptional cardiac localizations of mycobacterial infection.

  • Surgical resection was required for the intracardiac mass.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering infectious etiologies in tumor-mimicking presentations.
    • It expands the understanding of rare extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection sites and manifestations.
    • Highlights the need for prompt diagnosis and management of disseminated mycobacterial disease.
