title: [Viral myocarditis in a man with scleroderma].
abstract: Scleroderma is a rare cause of myocarditis. We present a case of myocarditis due to scleroderma in a 48-year-old man. The patient was eventually diagnosed with viral myocarditis, as his scleroderma was well controlled, and the clinical presentation did not match prior examples of myocarditis due to scleroderma. When treating scleroderma patients with myocarditis, scleroderma should always be considered as a possible cause, as the treatment differs from other types of myocarditis.
