Abstract

We report a case of a 78-year-old woman with neutrophilia without eosinophilia who was pathologically diagnosed with eosinophilic myocarditis by myocardial biopsy. The biopsy specimen showed infiltrating granulocytes with hypersegmentation, mimicking neutrophils; however, they were confirmed to be eosinophils by Giemsa staining.
