This case describes a patient with endocarditis on TAVI prosthetic valve, with an unusual clinical presentation and rapid deterioration to an emergency intervention. This unique presentation of tumour-like tissue invasion is characteristic of actinomycosis, and should be suspected especially following valve replacement.
