Résumé
A 71-year-old female was diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis by a history of complete atrioventricular block requiring pacemaker implantation and a focal thinning of basal interventricular septum (IVS) on echocardiography. Coronary angiography showed a tumor-like blush fed by septal branch of left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery concomitant with a coronary-to-right ventricle shunt. Echocardiography showed a low echoic mass at mid-IVS with an abnormal shunt flow into right ventricle. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) showed an uptake at the corresponding site of mid-IVS. Eight months after the initiation of steroid therapy, FDG-PET showed no abnormal uptake at mid-IVS, suggesting decreased activity of cardiac sarcoidosis. We experienced a case of cardiac sarcoidosis with FDG uptake accompanied by a tumor-like blush at mid-IVS. The present case suggests the involvement of microvascular accumulation in the activity of cardiac sarcoidosis. <
