Abstract
The authors report the case of a young patient with a tumour of the ri ght atrium and right ventricular outflow tract without visceral compli cations but with multiple muscular and skin localisations. The diagnos is of tuberculosis was made on biopsy of a suppurating skin lesion. An ti-tuberculosis treatment resulted in regression of these tumours, esp ecially the cardiac lesions, confirmed by transoesophageal echocardiog raphy.
