“…Most of the single or multiple well‐circumscribed cardiac tuberculomas are located in the right heart chambers, particularly in the right atrium. They are usually sharply demarcated from the surrounding parenchyma 7‐9 . Our case showed extension of the mass to the tricuspid valve septal leaflet resulting in severe obstruction of the right ventricular inflow tract.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated a reduction in size of cardiac tuberculoma after antituberculosis medical therapy 1‐3,7,10,15‐18 . Hence, it is recommended that pharmacotherapy be considered as a safe and useful method both to confirm the diagnosis and for the treatment.…”

“…Three distinct forms of myocardial TB have been recognized: miliary, diffuse infiltrating, or nodular with central caseation or tuberculoma [5,9]. Tuberculoma, a mass-like manifestation of the disease, was first reported by Morgagni in 1761 [7,9,10]. Myocardial tuberculomas are mostly located in the right heart and particularly in the wall of the right atrium [4].…”

BackgroundCardiac tuberculosis is rare and usually manifests as tuberculous pericarditis. Involvement of other part of the heart is unusual and descriptions in the pediatric literature are confined to few case reports regarding mainly myocardial tuberculosis.Case presentationWe describe a case of pulmonary miliary tuberculosis associated with intracardiac left atrial tuberculoma in an immunocompetent eleven-month-old infant successfully treated with surgery and antituberculous therapy.ConclusionAlthough unusual, involvement of endocardium in disseminated tuberculosis should be kept in mind.

Objective Pathological diagnosis of thymic epithelial neoplasms is challenging due to multiple subtypes, tumor heterogeneity, and variations in inter-observer reproducibility. Very few studies are available on their spectrum in the Indian subcontinent. In this study, we aimed to explore the morphological spectrum and diagnostic difficulties in the classification and subtyping of thymic epithelial neoplasms along with their prognostic significance in the Indian population. Material and Methods Retrospectively, all surgically resected thymectomy specimens operated at our institute as well as outside review cases during the period were included. Histomorphology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) slides were reviewed and correlated with clinicopathological variables. Statistical Analysis Microsoft Excel 2019 and SPSS version 20 were used for data analysis. Results Among the 33 thymic epithelial neoplasms operated during the study period, the commonest subtype was thymoma B2 type followed by AB, B1, A, and B3 types. A single case each of micronodular thymoma, microscopic thymoma, and thymic carcinoma were identified. Six cases of thymomas with more than one pattern (other than ‘A’) were noted. The male:female ratio was 2:1. Stage I in Modified Masaoka staging and pT1a in TNM staging were most common. Seven cases had metastasis, four during initial presentation and three during subsequent follow-up. Discussion and Conclusion Thymic epithelial neoplasms show morphological overlapping of features. Thorough sampling, morphology, and IHC for exact subtyping of thymoma and diligent search and documenting of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) are vital as both are separate risk factors for metastasis/recurrence and help the clinician in a better follow-up of patients.
