Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare form of vasculitis characterised by atopic manifestations, inflammation of small-sized to medium-sized arteries and veins, hypereosinophilia and tissue infiltration with eosinophils. Cardiac complications occur most commonly in the absence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Cardiac complications include coronary arteritis (rare), pericarditis, myocarditis, endocardial fibrosis (Loeffler’s endocarditis) and intracavitary thrombosis of the left or right ventricle. This is the first reported case of large non-infectious valvular vegetations associated with EGPA.

Endomyocardial fibrosis, though a vanishing disease from India, remains an important cause of heart failure in children, adolescents and young adults. It may be complicated with arrhythmias and thromboembolism and is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Moreover, usual presentation of this condition is in advanced stage with poor prognosis. Ventricular endocardial fibrosis with organised thrombus is the hall mark of this entity. Presence of associated cardiac mass poses a diagnostic challenge. We present one such case of endomyocardial fibrosis, in which a large thrombus was seen adherent to the anterolateral wall of right atrium, posing further risk of thromboembolism with complex management issues.
