Late-stage eosinophilic myocarditis (or Löffler endocarditis) is known to occur in patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome and can cause restrictive cardiomyopathy. Eosinophilic myocarditis is an acute life-threatening inflammatory disease of the heart that can be associated with cancer. We report a case of a 70-year-old White woman, previously treated for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in remission, admitted for acute dyspnea with a 1-year history of hypereosinophilia.

- - A 54-year-old man experienced abdominal pain, ascites, and declining health, prompting medical imaging that suggested peritoneal carcinomatosis.
- - However, histological tests revealed the man had peritoneal actinomycosis, a rare infection that can follow digestive surgeries like bypass operations.
- - This condition can occur years after surgery due to a breach in the digestive barrier, and healthcare providers should keep it in mind when assessing patients post-bariatric surgery, especially when cancer is not present.
