Eosinophilic endomyocardial disease is characterised by persisting blood eosinophilia and acute endocardial lesions which progress to endomyocardial fibrosis. In most cases the cause is unknown but it has been described in association with malignant tumours. A fatal case is presented of a 64 year old woman with this disease due to a high grade sarcoma of the chest wall, an association not previously reported.
嗜酸性粒细胞性心内膜疾病的特征是持续性血液嗜酸性粒细胞增多以及急性心内膜病变，这些病变会发展为心内膜纤维化。在大多数情况下病因不明，但已发现其与恶性肿瘤有关。本文报告了一例64岁女性因胸壁高级别肉瘤导致该病的致命病例，此前尚未有这种关联的报道。
