Tuberculoma of the myocardium is extremely rare, occurring in less than 0.3% of patients dying from tuberculosis. Tuberculomas are seldom diagnosed ante-mortem and we report a case of myocardial tuberculoma presenting with cardiac tamponade in a patient with AIDS that resolved with anti-tuberculous chemotherapy.
