title: Orthotopic heart transplantation in a child with histiocytoid cardiomyopathy.
abstract: We report a case of histiocytoid cardiomyopathy in a 30-month-old child. This rare disorder has been identified in <100 patients worldwide and no previous reports of cardiac transplantation with this condition have been identified. We reviewed the clinical and pathologic findings and compared them to previous studies.
