The clinical and imaging features of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and giant cell myocarditis (GCM) are occasionally indistinguishable. This is a case of heart block and ventricular tachycardia where cardiac MRI, fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and biopsy revealed intermediate clinicohistologic phenotype between CS and GCM. This highlights gaps in the management of overlap conditions.
心脏结节病(CS)和巨细胞性心肌炎(GCM)的临床及影像学特征有时难以区分。本文报告一例心脏传导阻滞和室性心动过速患者,心脏磁共振成像(MRI)、氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)及活检显示其临床组织学表型介于CS和GCM之间。这凸显了重叠病症管理方面的差距。
