| Popis: | Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis is a rare form of pulmonary artery hypertension; to date, only few descriptions of myocardial pathology in pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis have been reported in the literature. We report the case of a Japanese female patient who was diagnosed with pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis combined with acute myocardial inflammation on performing autopsy. She was admitted to our hospital because of acute pneumonia and subsequently suddenly developed severe hypoxemia with breathing difficulty and died 13 days after admission. At autopsy, the histology of the lung was consistent with pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis. Additionally, a diffuse severe infiltration of inflammatory cells was associated with edema in the myocardium. Myocytolysis was limited and fibrosis was absent. To the best of our knowledge, pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis with acute myocarditis-like histological findings has been described for the first time through our case. |
