RESUMO
Resumo Os últimos meses de 2019 foram marcados pelo surgimento de uma nova pandemia, denominada "COVID-19". Desde então, essa infecção e suas complicações têm sido a prioridade de profissionais de saúde, com muitos sintomas atribuídos às suas apresentações precoces e tardias. Até o momento, outras doenças, mesmo em situações fatais, têm sido negligenciadas ou diagnosticadas incorretamente devido à atribuição dos sintomas do paciente à presença da infecção por COVID-19. Apresentamos aqui um caso de angiossarcoma cardíaco, em um menino que, cerca de 2 meses antes, havia sido infectado com COVID-19. Dado o histórico de infecção, a abordagem inicial foi o manejo da miopericardite pós-COVID-19. No entanto, o quadro do paciente piorou, exigindo reavaliação por multimodalidades com maior precisão. Por fim, o paciente foi diagnosticado com um tumor cardíaco. Este artigo procura enfatizar a importância da atenção a outras doenças e condições fatais na era COVID-19, com ênfase em evitar diagnósticos incorretos de outras doenças.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The final months of 2019 saw the emergence of a new pandemic termed "COVID-19". Since then, this infection and its complications have been the priority of healthcare providers, with many symptoms attributed to its early and late presentations. Thus far, other diseases, even fatal situations, have been overlooked or misdiagnosed due to the attribution of patient symptoms to the presence of COVID-19 infection. We herein present a case of cardiac angiosarcoma in a young boy who had previously become infected with COVID-19 about two months earlier. Given the history of infection, the initial approach was post-COVID-19 myopericarditis management. However, the patient's condition worsened, necessitating reevaluation via multimodalities with higher precision. Ultimately, the patient was diagnosed with a cardiac tumor. This article seeks to underscore the significance of taking heed of other diseases and fatal conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic with an emphasis on avoiding misdiagnosing other diseases.
