  • Title: Giant cell myocarditis of the left atrium.
    Author: Bose AK, Bhattacharjee M, Martin V, Kendall S.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Pathol; 2010; 19(2):e37-8. PubMed ID: 19026572.
    Abstract:
    Here we describe an unusual case of giant cell myocarditis (GCM) found in the left atrial appendage. Giant cell myocarditis is a rare entity in itself, while isolated left atrial GCM has only been reported on a few occasions. We describe a patient who underwent mitral valve replacement for rheumatic mitral stenosis and excision of a grossly abnormal, thickened, and enlarged left atrial appendage. Histological examination confirmed the presence of GCM.
