Key result
Cardiac tuberculoma can present as an RA mass causing significant tricuspid stenosis without active pulmonary disease.
Why the study?
Cardiac tuberculoma is rare and usually involves the pericardium, with myocardial involvement being very rare.
Highlights a rare case of myocardial tuberculoma presenting as a right atrial mass causing tricuspid stenosis without active pulmonary disease.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Consider myocardial tuberculoma in right atrial masses causing tricuspid stenosis without pulmonary TB; extends sparse case literature on isolated cardiac involvement.
We report a patient with a large mass in the right atrium with tricuspid valve involvement resulting in significant stenosis, which was a tuberculoma without active pulmonary disease. Cardiac tuberculoma is rare and usually involves the pericardium. Myocardial involvement is a very rare occurrence.

Momtahen et al. (2011) studied this question. Cardiac tuberculoma can present as a large right atrial mass involving the tricuspid valve and causing significant stenosis, even without active pulmonary disease.
