Loeffler Endocarditis as a Manifestation of Paraneoplastic Hypereosinophilia

ABSTRACT: Graphical abstract Highlights • Loeffler endocarditis is a rare eosinophilic myocardial fibrosing disease.• Classic TTE findings include apical obliteration with diffuse endocardial thickening.• Anticoagulation is reasonable if there is evidence of thromboembolism.

Loeffler Endocarditis: A Manifestation of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome.

Project description:Highlights•Loeffler endocarditis is a systemic manifestation of HE.•Laboratory studies include CBC and cytogenetics for the FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene.•Imaging studies include echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and CMR.•The cornerstone of treatment includes steroids and anticoagulation.•Medications, such as antipsychotics, can cause secondary HE.

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome with Advanced-Stage Loeffler Endocarditis

Project description:Graphical abstract Highlights • HES with cardiac involvement carries a poor prognosis with significant mortality.• Cardiac involvement is characterized by endomyocardial and valvar infiltrates.• Early recognition can be challenging as the initial stage is clinically silent.• Echocardiography can be sufficient in diagnosing and staging of Loeffler endocarditis.

Large apical thrombus in a patient with persistent heart failure and hypereosinophilia: Loffler endocarditis.

Project description:Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is an uncommon leukoproliferative systemic disorder characterized by the overproduction of eosinophils and poor prognosis. A major source of morbidity and mortality of this syndrome is the associated cardiac involvement represented by endocardial thickening and mural thrombi. We report a 64-year-old woman with persistent symptoms of heart failure despite standard medical therapy. Echocardiography revealed reduced left ventricular filling due to a large apical mass; an abnormal diastolic filling pattern was also noticed. Complete blood count revealed remarkable hypereosinophilia. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an apical thrombus and intense linear enhancement of the endocardium, which were compatible with Löffler endocarditis. Medical therapy, including corticosteroids and anticoagulation, was initiated promptly. The symptoms improved as the peripheral hypereosinophilia resolved in 15 days. The patient was asymptomatic at the 1-year follow-up visit with complete regression of the apical thrombus and no evidence of restrictive cardiomyopathy. We report this case to draw attention to this particularly rare condition with poor prognosis since quick and accurate diagnosis and prompt initiation of therapy may improve symptoms and survival.

Tropheryma whipplei infective endocarditis as the only manifestation of Whipple's disease.

Project description:Here we describe a case of infective endocarditis caused by Tropheryma whipplei in a patient with no other symptoms of Whipple's disease. The case was diagnosed using broad-range PCR and confirmed by specific PCRs. We review the cases of infective endocarditis presenting as the only manifestation of Whipple's disease reported in the literature.

Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis with recurrent embolic events as manifestation of ovarian neoplasm.

Project description:We describe the case of a 43-year-old woman with transient ischemic neurologic deficits and recurrent systemic and pulmonary emboli in whom infectious work-up and extensive thrombophilic evaluation were unremarkable. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) established the diagnosis of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). This is a rare condition often associated with hypercoagulable states or advanced malignancy such as adenocarcinomas, characterized by cardiac vegetations along valvular coaptation lines without destruction of leaflets. In our patient, we diagnosed an ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma, a malignant disorder that has been rarely reported in association with NBTE. This case illustrates that NBTE can present as an atypical manifestation of malignancy and must be distinguished from infective endocarditis, which implies a different therapeutic strategy. When confronted with findings of NBTE without a clear etiology, an occult neoplasm must be excluded. Anticoagulant therapy is the mainstay of treatment. However, cardiac vegetations may require surgical intervention in rare instances.

Paraneoplastic Syndrome in Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma: A Rare Phenomenon of Paraplegia as an Atypical Presenting Manifestation.

Project description:We describe a case presenting complaint of complete lower body paraparesis, which was discovered to have splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). While paraneoplastic syndromes are more common in tumors, such as small cell lung cancer, very few reports exist on this condition with SMZL. We describe such a rare entity with a clinical course spanning twenty-four months after diagnosis.
