Incidental Late Stage Loeffler's Endocarditis in an Asymptomatic Patient.

• Symptoms typically occur when endomyocardial fibrosis ensues. • Asymptomatic late-stage Loeffler’s endocarditis can rarely occur. • Multimodality imaging can aid in early recognition in asymptomatic patients.

Multiple Cutaneous Cancers in an Interventional Cardiologist: Predominance in Unprotected Skin Nearest the Radiation Source.

A 70 year-old interventional cardiologist, who worked in the cardiac catheterization laboratory for >35 years, developed multiple skin cancers in regions not conventionally covered by protective lead apparel. The majority of lesions were left-sided, representing cutaneous regions in closest proximity to the radiation source. Although skin not covered by lead apparel often receives frequent sun exposure, a known risk factor for skin cancer, malignancies resulting exclusively from sun exposure would not in most cases be expected to have a left-sided predominance.
