Our case brings together two entities: isolated cardiac sarcoidosis and its presentation mimicking HOCM, which has been very rarely described in the literature. And it also shows the scenario of surgical pathology diagnosis of sarcoidosis that was not suspected by initial CMR or FDG-PET, despite adequate preparation, only appearing on repeat FDG-PET done 15 months later. Isolated cardiac sarcoidosis should remain a differential diagnosis for any non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy without a clear cause, despite imaging evidence of HCM.
