Three cases of giant-cell myocarditis were observed, and 63 comparable cases were published in the literature. On the basis of this material, the significance of this disease was studied, which was considered for long to be of "granulomatous" origin, while it seems to be a peculiar histopathologic type of myocardialgeneration. The cause for this necrosis remains unknown; in spite of as complete as possible investigations in one of the three cases (in which death was preceded for labile recurring lung infiltrates during eleven months) no cause could be demonstrated.
观察到3例巨细胞性心肌炎病例，文献中发表了63例类似病例。基于这些资料，对该病的重要性进行了研究，长期以来该病被认为起源于“肉芽肿性”，而它似乎是一种特殊的心肌生成组织病理学类型。这种坏死的原因仍然不明；尽管对其中1例病例进行了尽可能全面的调查（该例患者在11个月中因不稳定的复发性肺部浸润而死亡），但仍未发现病因。
