GPA-Induced Granulomatous Endocarditis Mimicking a Thrombotic Mitral Valve Stenosis

We present the case of a patient with granulomatous endocarditis of the mitral valve leading to severe valve stenosis caused by granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Endocarditis is a rare complication of granulomatosis with polyangiitis that may be misdiagnosed as infectious endocarditis or, as in our...

Summary:We present the case of a patient with granulomatous endocarditis of the mitral valve leading to severe valve stenosis caused by granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Endocarditis is a rare complication of granulomatosis with polyangiitis that may be misdiagnosed as infectious endocarditis or, as in our case, thrombotic lesions.
