RESUMO
The diagnosis of two primary synchronous malignancies in a single pleural effusion cytology specimen is exceedingly rare. We describe, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported case of lung adenocarcinoma and suspected relapse of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) diagnosed from a solitary effusion sample.
RESUMO
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan in 2019 and by far has affected the whole world, and many people have succumbed to the disease. Vaccination programs introduced around the globe are aiming to reduce morbidity, mortality, and disease spread. We report the case of a 59-year-old male who suffered from cardiopulmonary arrest post-COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccination with no history of any other cardiopulmonary disease. Association between myocarditis and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been previously reported. However, this is the first case of cardiopulmonary arrest post-COVID-19 booster vaccination. Further research and cases should be described to confirm if this relationship exists. We need further cases to find this temporal association as such cases can also increase vaccine hesitancy. However, vaccination-associated adverse events should be vigilantly monitored and evaluated from time to time as further reports emerge.
