Book Chapter Description

Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis represents a fulminant myocardial inflammatory process that is characterized by non-granulomatous giant cell reaction. This is commonly seen in young to middle-aged individuals and may be associated with extracardiac autoimmune inflammation. We report one such case in a patient treated for ischemic heart disease, where at autopsy the epicardial surface was covered with multiple polypoidal projections, which resembled “colonic appendices epiploicae”.
