Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare condition characterized by idiopathic eosinophilia with organ system involvement. Cardiac involvement portends a less favorable prognosis as it can be complicated by development of heart failure, valvular dysfunction, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. We present a rare case of hypereosinophilic syndrome with FIP1L1/PDGFRA fusion in a 50-year-old male associated with thrombus in left and right ventricle.
高嗜酸性粒细胞综合征是一种罕见疾病,其特征为特发性嗜酸性粒细胞增多并累及器官系统。心脏受累预示预后较差,因为可能并发心力衰竭、瓣膜功能障碍和限制性心肌病。我们报告一例50岁男性罕见的高嗜酸性粒细胞综合征病例,该患者存在FIP1L1/PDGFRA融合基因,且左右心室均有血栓形成。
