Background: Cardiovascular involvement is a rare but severe complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections. Patients with chronic active EBV (CAEBV) are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications and have a poor prognosis. Here, we report the rare case of a pediatric patient with CAEBV and EBV- hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) complicated with a giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) and thrombosis, a giant Valsalva sinus aneurysm, and ascending aorta dilation seven years after the disease onset.

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is an aggressive EBV-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma, most commonly arising from within the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract, typically with nasal presentation. Here, we present an interesting case of a 36-year-old man with ENKTCL with an atypical pattern of disease progression despite 3 cycles of SMILE chemotherapy. Restaging 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated widespread uptake within the skeletal musculature in a distribution concerning for a paraneoplastic polymyositis.
