Incidental Finding of Systemic Granulomatous Disease in a Case of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Rare Autopsy Case Report

Abstract

Forensic experts very commonly encounter cases of sudden deaths during their practice, of which, majority of them are due to cardiac  conditions. Sudden cardiac deaths can either be related to cardiac arrest following electrical abnormalities or due to coronary artery disease  or any other pathology of heart. Here, we present a rare case of accidentally detected systemic granulomatous disease during histo-pathological examination of tissues collected at the time of post-mortem examination where the cause of death is coronary artery  thrombosis.
