Cardiac involvement in tuberculosis is relatively rare when compared to other organs and often involves the pericardium leading to constrictive pericarditis. Myocardial tuberculoma is exceedingly rare and only seldom cases have yet been reported. Our report is of a case diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology.
