Abstract

Our findings refer to a female patient with Felty's and Sjögren's syndromes and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The rheumatoid granuloma found in the left ventricle at autopsy and the absence of other conditions which may be manifested by hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy suggest that the case studied, probably represents an extraarticular manifestation of Felty's and Sjögren's syndromes.
