本文报告特发性巨细胞性心肌炎11例，病理特征明确，心肌坏死呈蛇形区，组织学检查可见巨细胞边缘。该病的病因尚不清楚，但相关病理提示免疫改变可能是一个因素。然而，快速的临床过程高度提示感染原因，尽管尚未发现。
Eleven cases of idiopathic giant cell myocarditis are described, The pathological features are unmistakable with serpiginous areas of myocardial necrosis, at the margins of which giant cells can be seen on histological examination. The aetiology of the condition remains obscure but associated pathology suggests that altered immunity may be a factor. The rapid clinical course is, however, highly suggestive of an infective cause though none has been found.
