    Abstract Introduction: Acute invasive fungal rhino-sinusitis (AIFR) is a life-threatening infection that is mostly found in immunocompromised patients with serious morbidity and mortality. Recently, reports of AIFR have also emerged among SARS-CoV-2 infected patients.
    Case presentation: A 50-year-old diabetic woman, previously diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia, was presented to the hospital with left facial pain on day 12 after discharge. Paranasal sinuses computed tomography was performed and according to the mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses and ethmoidal air cells, the patient underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and necrosis were observed. The histopathologic examination revealed mycelium with septation suspected to
    Conclusion: Mixed etiology AIFR can influence the outcome. However, further investigation is required upon this new threat.

    Abstract Extra-nasal types of Extra-nodal natural killer cell lymphoma (ENKL) have been known with poorer prognoses than nasal type with the worst responses to treatment. The current work introduces a case of ENKL with GI involvement with no nasal manifestations. We report a 56-year male farmer with fever, productive cough, dyspnea, anorexia, vomiting and chill in addition to malaise and cachexia of three months duration referred to a hospital with acute abdominal pain, and was diagnosed as peritonitis due to perforated terminal ileum ulcer before experiencing surgery as a case of acute abdomen. The pathologic study of the relevant biopsy showed "ulceration and necrosis with dense fibrinoleukocytic exudation and granulation tissue formation. CT scan determined a bilateral mass like haziness which was more likely to be metastatic. The review of the previous pathologic specimens raised Natural Killer/T cell Lymphoma (NKTL), the reason for which we focused on the patient's sinuses and nasal area as well as nasopharynx. There was no finding in examination and endoscopy of sinuses. Pathology also found malignant high grade non-Hodgkin T cell lymphoma in specimens obtained from debridement of ulcer at terminal ileum. It also showed that most of the tumor cells were positive for CD3, CD56, CD8, and LCA but negative for CD19, CD20 and AE1/AE3. Positive reactions for CD30 were shown by some cells. CD56, CD3, and CD8 were expressed by neoplastic cells and CD30 were positive in few cells. Proliferative activity (Ki67 index) was high (60-70%). This was the main base to diagnose an extra-nodal extra-nasal NK/T cell lymphoma. In conclusion, Intestinal changes at middle age, especially in men with nonspecific clinical manifestations is highly advised to be studied pathologically and genetically for T cell types like CD30 positive T cells which are usually engaged in ENKTL.

    Abstract Primary sarcomas of the lung represent less than 0.5% of all primary lung tumors and comprise a heterogeneous group of malignancies including synovial sarcoma (SS). Primary pleuropulmonary SS has non-specific presentations, such as chest pain, shortness of breath and cough, and its associated imaging features resemble those of other intrathoracic malignancies. The diagnosis of these tumors needs to be confirmed by cytogenetic and molecular studies. Here, we describe two rare cases of primary pleuropulmonary SS who were admitted to our hospital. We also provide a concise review of clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics of pleuropulmonary SS after exploring 168 studies (415 corresponding patients) that were identified through a literature search.

    Abstract Objectives: Brain tumors are the most challenging causes of brain deaths due to the lack of pathology results in many cases. It is not uncommon to find a brain tumor in a brain-dead patient with no pathology results or neuroradiology reports available; this would exclude the deceased from organ donation. The mortality that occurs while patients are on transplant wait lists motivated us to find a solution to prevent losing brain-dead patients as potential donors. We present our experiences in autopsy examinations of brain tumors and the results of frozen-section pathology.
    Materials and methods: We performed autopsy examinations of 8 brain-dead patients who were suspected of having highly malignant brain tumors and in whom there were no pathology or radiology reports available. The autopsy process began at the conclusion of organ retrieval. First, we performed a complete brain dissection; the tumor was then removed with its adjacent brain tissue and sent for examination by an expert pathologist. Organ transplant was deferred until the pathology examination was completed.
    Results: Organ transplant was cancelled if the frozen sections revealed a high-grade tumor. For all other results, the transplant was performed. If a medulloblastoma was confirmed, only the heart was transplanted. The duration of the delay for pathologic examination was 30 to 45 minutes. A total of 21 organs were donated that would otherwise have been rejected.
    Conclusions: It is worth performing an autopsy and frozen-section pathology examination to prevent losing potential organs from donors with brain tumors who are suspected of having a high-grade neoplasm but have no pathology or neuroradiology reports. This process is simple and has the potential to save lives.

    Abstract Introduction: Cytokine storm and critical COVID-19 pneumonia are caused in at least 10% of patients by inborn errors of or auto-Abs to type I IFNs. The pathogenesis of life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia in other patients remains unknown.
    Methods: This study was conducted at Masih Daneshvari Hospital, Tehran, Iran. In the period of study, 75 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with presentations ranging from mild upper respiratory tract infection to lower respiratory tract infection, including moderate, severe, and critical disease, were recruited. Expression of STING mRNA was measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and compared between patients with different severity and outcome.
    Results: There was a significant negative correlation between age and STING expression level (p value = 0.010). Patients with "severe to critical" illness had a 20-fold lower STING expression level compared to the "mild to moderate" group (p value = 0.001). Also, the results showed lower expressions of STING in the patients admitted to the ICU (p value = 0.015). Patients who finally died had lower expression of STING at the time of sampling (p value = 0.041).
    Conclusion: STING mRNA expression in PBMCs was significantly lower in older COVID-19 cases, the patients with more severe illness, who needed intensive care, and who eventually died.
