Left Atrial Giant Cell Myocarditis Presenting as a Tumor: First-in-Man Case Report
Giant cell myocarditis is a rare and highly lethal disorder with
resultant cardiac insufficiency. It necessitates aggressive immune
suppression therapy, although the results are often fatal. When
it affects only the atria, the characteristics of the disease changes
completely. In this case report, we present atypical presentation
of atrial giant cell myocarditis with mass lesion, which completely
resolved after successful surgical resection without immuno
suppression therapy.
