Immunoglobulin G4-Related Myocarditis with Eosinophilic Infiltration: A Case Report
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory disorder that can involve any organ system; however, myocarditis is extremely rare. A 52-year-old male with dyspnea and chest discomfort underwent cardiac MRI that revealed edema and nodular, patchy, mesocardial and subendoa...

| description | Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory disorder that can involve
any organ system; however, myocarditis is extremely rare. A 52-year-old male with dyspnea and chest
discomfort underwent cardiac MRI that revealed edema and nodular, patchy, mesocardial and subendoardial
delayed enhancement of left ventricle, suggesting myocarditis. Laboratory findings revealed
elevated serum IgG4 and eosinophilia. Cardiac biopsy confirmed eosinophilic myocarditis
with IgG4-positive cells. Here, we present an unusual case of IgG4-RD manifesting as eosinophilic
myocarditis. |
