Abstract
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis share clinical and histologic features, but whether they represent separate processes or lie on an inflammatory cardiomyopathy spectrum is unclear. We present a case of cardiogenic shock thought to be secondary to biopsy-proven GCM with a subsequent post-transplant diagnosis of sarcoidosis through 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and biopsy.
