This case report describes a 23-year-old male patient who presented with right chylothorax as the initial manifestation of a severe flare of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and secondary Evans syndrome. Chylothorax and chylous ascites are rare features of SLE that can occur due to the accumulation of triglyceride-rich fluid in serous cavities. However, they have never been reported as the initial manifestation of a lupus flare. Evans syndrome is a rare disease characterized by autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia, which can be secondary to SLE...

Coronary perforation (CP) is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and can lead to pericardial tamponade. Prolonged balloon inflation is a reasonable treatment for CP, but there is no standard recommendation on the preferable choice between the balloon site for prolonged balloon inflation (ie, proximal and in situ of the perforation). We present a rare case of successful prolonged balloon inflation at the proximal site of the CP after the failure of balloon inflation at the site of perforation...

Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a self-limited inflammatory disease and a rare cause of thyrotoxicosis. Although the exact etiology of SAT is not sufficiently understood, it is generally associated to viral infections. Current evidence highlights that SAT may be a potentially uncommon manifestation of ongoing Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection or a post-viral complication of the disease. Despite that SAT is a rare manifestation associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease both in ongoing and resolved COVID-19 infection, the ever-increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients strengthens the possibility that this particular disease entity will be of more immediate concern in the future...
