Severe constrictive pericarditis as an unsuspected cause of death in a patient with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome and restrictive cardiomyopathy.

A 43-year-old man with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome survived a relatively long term (6 1/2 years) before he succumbed to intractable heart failure. Six months before death, his chronic heart failure from restrictive cardiomyopathy was well compensated. Autopsy demonstrated severe constrictive pericarditis which was not suspected antemortem. Constrictive pericarditis as a late complication of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is discussed.

Renal plasmacytoma.

Plasmacytoma, a localized extramedullary mass of plasma cells, is one manifestation of multiple myeloma. Renal plasmacytomas are rare lesions with neovascularity on arteriogram. This may cause confusion with the much more common renal cell carcinoma unless the clinician is aware of this entity. A case is presented, the literature reviewed, and problems in management discussed.
