Incidental Diagnosis of Primary Pleural Liposarcoma in a COVID-19-Positive Patient.

A few cases of primary liposarcoma of pleura have been reported worldwide. We report a young gentleman who was admitted with what was initially thought as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related pulmonary symptoms. His chest CT showed a large pleural effusion causing a mediastinal shift and compressing vital structures. He did not respond to conservative drainage intervention and subsequently underwent a left thoracotomy for his worsening clinical picture. He was found to have a large left pleural mass that was incompletely resected. Histopathology examination showed low-grade soft tissue sarcoma with lipogenic differentiation suggestive of myxoid liposarcoma. He was subsequently given adjuvant chemotherapy but succumbed and died because of the progression of the disease.

A Rare Case of a Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm With Lateral Wall Rupture.

In this report, we present a case of a 51-year-old male patient with a left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm and a ruptured lateral wall due to a previous myocardial infarction. This patient was referred to the Coronary Care Unit with a past history of acute coronary syndrome of two months. He presented with palpitations and acute pulmonary edema upon admission. Color Doppler detected a ruptured lateral ventricular wall, and an echocardiogram confirmed the presence of a lateral ventricular wall pseudoaneurysm. Emergency LV aneurysmal rupture repair surgery was performed on this patient, and the postoperative findings were stable till discharge.
