Pericardial tuberculoma. An unusual cause of mediastinal mass.
Pericardial tuberculoma can appear as a solitary mediastinal mass along the left-heart border. The authors discuss two cases and cite three additional cases to demonstrate that, although rare, pericardial tuberculoma merits consideration in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses, particularly in patients with histories of tuberculosis.
