EXTRAPULMONARY MYCOBACTERIAL INFECTION WI TH MULTIPLE COLD ABSCESSES

We report one case of extrapulmonary mycobacterial infection, in the a bsence of HIV infection, singular by a clinical presentation simulatin g a tumor, associating a bulky intrahepatic;mass, an abscess of the ps oas, multiple intracerebral lesions, and an obstructive intracardiac m ass of the right ventricle, which required a surgical resection. We co mment the type of the mycobacterium involved and the hepatic and cardi ac localisations, since macronodular hepatic abscesses are rare, and c ardiac abcesses, exceptional.
