title: Sudden death associated with cardiac inflammatory pseudotumour.
abstract: We report a case of cardiac inflammatory pseudotumour which we believe caused sudden death in a previously healthy 55-year-old Chinese female. The features of inflammatory pseudotumours are briefly reviewed. Cardiac lesions are very rare, have only been reported in children before, and have not been associated with sudden death.
