RESUMO

Myocardial injury occurs in 20% to 30% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection, and cardiovascular complications contribute to approximately 40% of all COVID-19-related deaths. Most cases of myocarditis related to COVID-19 infection occur in the acute phase of infection and are self-limited. We describe a case of delayed-onset fulminant myocarditis that developed 5 weeks after mild COVID-19 infection leading to cardiogenic shock and the need for mechanical circulatory support. Our case illustrates how myocarditis can occur as a late complication of COVID-19 infection, even in those with a mild initial course.

RESUMO

Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma that appears non-specific clinically and often is misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. We report the case of a 59-year-old Caucasian male with a grade I leiomyosarcoma tumor on his lower extremity with no previous history of local trauma. The tumor is composed of highly atypical spindle cells with pleomorphic nuclei and mitotic activity on hematoxylin and eosin stains. The diagnosis is confirmed with immunohistochemistry staining positive for smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and desmin. Due to high recurrence rates, the prognosis for leiomyosarcomas remains poor and requires close follow-up to prevent progression.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The incidence of 2 distinct tumor types occupying the same anatomic location is rarely observed and may be accounted for by 2 separate mechanisms: tumor-to-tumor metastasis and collision tumors, where 2 adjacent tumors invade one another. These rare phenomena arise from distinct mechanisms, which may affect their preoperative recognition, surgical approach, and postoperative care. We review 2 cases, highlighting their identification and perioperative management. CASE DESCRIPTIONS: In case 1, a 71-year-old patient with a history of sphenoid wing meningioma presented with headache, nausea, and vomiting and was found to have a mass with meningioma and glioblastoma (GBM) characteristics. In case 2, a 61-year-old man with worsening dysmetria in the setting of unintentional weight loss presented with multiple masses in the pelvis, abdomen, lung, and brain. The brain masses were classified as meningioma with intratumoral metastatic adenocarcinoma foci. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative recognition of collision tumor and tumor-to-tumor metastasis is imperative for surgical planning, including selecting regions for tissue biopsy and goals of care. Meticulous evaluation of history and imaging and thorough pathologic analysis allow for effective diagnosis and optimal patient outcomes.

RESUMO

There have been infrequent reports of isolated central nervous system blastomycosis. We report a case of intracranial epidural abscess secondary to Blastomyces dermatitidis in a patient residing in Rhode Island with a history of remote travel to an endemic area. The clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of this unique case are reviewed.
