Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis share clinical and histologic features, but whether they represent separate processes or lie on an inflammatory cardiomyopathy spectrum is unclear. We present a case of cardiogenic shock thought to be secondary to biopsy-proven GCM with a subsequent post-transplant diagnosis of sarcoidosis through 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and biopsy.
巨细胞性心肌炎(GCM)与心脏结节病具有共同的临床和组织学特征,但它们是代表不同的疾病过程还是属于炎症性心肌病谱系尚不清楚。我们报告一例心源性休克病例,最初认为是活检证实的GCM所致,随后通过18氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描和活检在移植后诊断为结节病。
