SARS-CoV-2 is primarily known to cause respiratory symptoms. However, in this global COVID-19 pandemic, we have come across many extrapulmonary manifestations during and in the immediate post-COVID phase such as gastrointestinal symptoms, kidney and liver injury, myocardial dysfunction and acute coronary syndromes, and neurological, thromboembolic, dermatological, and musculoskeletal disorders. We present 2 such unusual cases of post-COVID complications—diffuse panniculitis and inflammatory myositis, as well as their clinical and FDG PET/CT imaging features.
The most common locations for metastasis in adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland are lymph nodes, bone, lung, and liver. The involvement of the ureter as a site of metastasis in prostate carcinoma is quite rare in literature. Here we present a case involving bilateral ureters along with bilateral vesicoureteric junctions in a known case of prostate adenocarcinoma.
Cardiac lymphoma as secondary extension of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is described in 30% of autopsies; however, a few cases are diagnosed in vivo. Primary lymphoma of the heart and pericardium is rare, accounting for 1.3% of primary cardiac tumors and only 0.5% of extranodal lymphomas at autopsy. We present a unique case of 68-year-old man diagnosed with extranodal lymphoma with cardiac and abdominopelvic nodular deposits on 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
