A previously healthy 32-year-old female hailing from Mexico presented to the emergency department with rectorrhagia. Caseating granulomas were detected on histopathological analysis from cecum ulcerative lesions. A purified protein derivative skin test resulted positive. In order to exclude pulmonary tubercolosis, a CT lung scan was performed: a rounded and voluminous mass, located above the right atrioventricular cardiac junction, was unexpectedly revealed. Further, a cardiac magnetic resonance and a coronary angiography disclosed a giant (5 × 4,8 cm) isolated aneurysm of proximal right coronary artery with severe thrombotic layering. The patient was treated with isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide; after approximately 2 months of treatment, she had complete resolution of cecal lesions. Anticoagulant oral therapy with warfarin was started and the patient was submitted to coronary artery grafting bypass surgery.
