The occurrence of cardiac involvement in RA is frequent but cardiac lesions are observed more frequently at necroscopy than on clinical examination. The case of a RA patient with a serious mitral valves involvement is reported in which the histological examination of the bioptic tissue obtained during surgical valves replacement showed a typical rheumatoid granulomatous inflammation of the endocardium.

Abstract
The occurrence of cardiac involvement in RA is frequent but cardiac lesions are observed more frequently at necroscopy than on clinical examination. The case of a RA patient with a serious mitral valves involvement is reported in which the histological examination of the bioptic tissue obtained during surgical valves replacement showed a typical rheumatoid granulomatous inflammation of the endocardium.
