We report a case of a 78-year-old woman with neutrophilia without eosinophilia who was pathologically diagnosed with eosinophilic myocarditis by myocardial biopsy. The biopsy specimen showed infiltrating granulocytes with hypersegmentation, mimicking neutrophils; however, they were confirmed to be eosinophils by Giemsa staining.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009205 Myocarditis Inflammatory processes of the muscular walls of the heart (MYOCARDIUM) which result in injury to the cardiac muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Manifestations range from subclinical to sudden death (DEATH, SUDDEN). Myocarditis in association with cardiac dysfunction is classified as inflammatory CARDIOMYOPATHY usually caused by INFECTION, autoimmune diseases, or responses to toxic substances. Myocarditis is also a common cause of DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY and other cardiomyopathies. Carditis,Myocarditides
D009504 Neutrophils Granular leukocytes having a nucleus with three to five lobes connected by slender threads of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing fine inconspicuous granules and stainable by neutral dyes.
