Abstract
During the first wave of the COVID�19 pandemic, a patient with anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) was misdiagnosed as having bilateral severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pneumonia on admission. A comprehensive clinical evaluation would have led to the correct diagnosis earlier, as he had some data consistent with ASS on both physical examination and laboratory tests that were initially overlooked. In addition, a malignant lesion in the colon was found on screening for underlying malignancy. In this context, ASS has been considered a low-risk subgroup for cancer among idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. However, this should be interpreted cautiously and should not lead to neglect of adequate cancer screening adjusted for age, sex and other potential risk factors.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
