    Loss of an eye to mucormycosis following corticosteroid therapy for COVID-19
    (2022) RODRIGUES, M. G.; SEKIGUCHI, W. K.; GONçALVES, S.; CASAL, Y. R.; FRASSETTO, F. P.; SILVA, V. T. G. da; SANTO, M. P. D. E.; MAGRI, M. M. C.
    Mucormycosis is a rare, sometimes severe fungal infection that has emerged as a possible complication of COVID-19. We report a case of a non-diabetic, apparently immunocompetent patient diagnosed with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis shortly after COVID-19 treatment with dexamethasone. The patient received optimized systemic antifungal therapy and extensive surgical treatment. So far, four months after the last hospital discharge, the patient has been in good general condition. This case is a dramatic reminder that beneficial corticosteroid therapy in general inevitably carries a risk of opportunistic infection, and corticosteroid therapy for COVID-19 risks orbital-rhinocerebral mucormycosis that clinicians should watch for with vigilance. © 2021 The Author(s).

    Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type with extensive cardiopulmonary involvement
    (2021) MARQUES-PIUBELLI, M. L.; SALES, G. T. M.; CLEMENTE, L. C.; ROSA, L. I.; SAVIOLI, M. L.; ALVIM, R. P.; MOREIRA, R. M.; FRASSETTO, F. P.; NASCIMENTO, E. C. T. Do; SIQUEIRA, S. A. C.
    Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL-NT) is a rare type of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which usually presents with extranodal involvement and affects the nasal/upper aerodigestive tract in the classical presentation. Herein, we report the case of a 31-year-old, previously healthy, male patient diagnosed with ENKTL-NT with the involvement of the lung parenchyma and heart. Unfortunately, due to the rapid disease progression, the diagnosis was performed only at the autopsy. The authors highlight the rare clinical presentation of this type of lymphoma, as well as the challenging anatomopathological diagnosis in necrotic samples. © 2020 The Authors.
