“…Disease extension to the heart often occurs through hematogenous seeding from the lungs or by lymphatic spread. Autopsy findings from a case with sudden cardiac death showed variable features in both right and left coronary arteries, including luminal narrowing, dense transmural lymphohistiocytic infiltrates, focal necrosis, poorly-defined histiocytic aggregates, and occasional Langhans cells 68 . Vasculitis associated with invasive fungal infections is rare, occurring mainly in immunocompromised or specific populations, such as intravenous drug users or inhabitants from countries with endemic mycoses.…”

Summary Vasculitides are diseases that can affect any vessel. When cardiac or aortic involvement is present, the prognosis can worsen significantly. Pathological assessment often plays a key role in reaching a definite diagnosis of cardiac or aortic vasculitis, particularly when the clinical evidence of a systemic inflammatory disease is missing. The following review will focus on the main histopathological findings of cardiac and aortic vasculitides.

Tuberculous myocarditis (TM) is an extremely rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection. Although TM is a critical cause of sudden cardiac death, only a few cases have been reported. We report the case of an older patient with pulmonary TB with a history of fever, chest tightness, paroxysmal palpitations, and electrocardiographic evidence of sinus node conduction abnormalities on admission. Although emergency physicians observed these unusual clinical manifestations, no timely differential diagnosis was made nor interventions were performed. A definitive diagnosis of TM and histopathological findings compatible with sinus node involvement were made based on autopsy outcomes. Herein, we describe the clinical presentation and pathological features of a rare form of Mycobacterium TB. In addition, we provide an overview of issues related to the diagnosis of myocardial TB.
