A case of cardiac sarcoidosis masquerading as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy awaiting heart transplant
SummaryWe report a case of 45-year-old man, who was diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and presented with right ventricular (RV) enlargement with a global decrease in RV contractility accompanied by impairment of left ventricular function. He was placed on the heart transplant waiting list. Endomyocardial biopsy from RV septal wall did not show any evidence of sarcoidosis or inflammatory change. Four years after he was put on the heart transplant waiting list, a computed tomography chest scan for the purpose of anatomical evaluation for coronary sinus prior to biventricular pacing lead implantation incidentally showed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, which suggested the possibility of sarcoidosis. Biopsy of the inguinal lymph node pathologically was consistent with sarcoidosis. The 2[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography scanning (FDG-PET) demonstrated intense uptake in the myocardium, and the patient was finally diagnosed as having cardiac sarcoidosis. After steroid treatment, the abnormal FDG-PET uptake disappeared. The patient therefore represented a case of cardiac sarcoidosis masquerading as ARVC. It should be recognized that RV involvement is one of the manifestations in cardiac sarcoidosis
