Calcifying giant cell cardiomyopathy: a possible new entity: Images in Cardiovascular Pathology.
Cardiovascular Pathology : the Official Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology 2017 May
We demonstrated an extremely unusual case of an 83-year-old male's sudden death secondary to characteristic myocardial necrosis and fibrosis with calcification and multinucleated giant cells infiltration, possibly due to sepsis and Stage IV pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma-induced cachexia after postmortem study. We propose that this calcifying giant cell cardiomyopathy (CGC) would be a new entity especially from the pathological viewpoints and should be considered in the classification of noninfectious myocarditis. Further prospective studies are needed to validate the presence and significance of CGC and the association with any triggers of somewhat microvascular dysfunction and/or toxic agents, after collecting and investigating a larger number of CGC cases examined.
