Abstract

Two cases of granuloma of the endocardium following cardic catherterisation are described. In each case the granuloma consisted essentially of macrophages associated with intracellular and extracellular starch granules, derived presumably from the glove powder used at operation. No previous cases of this condition have been found in the literature.
