Abstract
We hereby present a case of large cardiac tuberculoma which was thought to be a malignant mass on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The present case highlights that high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose this rare entity especially in tuberculosis-endemic areas, or in those who have relevant past history of this condition.
