Conclusion
Tropheryma whipplei is a rare cause of culture-negative
endocarditis. We report a case of T whipplei endocarditis in the
aortic valve masquerading as an amorphous cardiac tumor in a 60-year-old
male treated by a complete resection of the mass. Further workup and
medical knowledge, and risk stratification is needed for this relatively
rare clinical entity.
