A patient with follicular lymphoma treated with obinutuzumab and bendamustine experienced prolonged coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). One month after the symptoms transiently improved, the patient experienced exacerbated COVID-19 symptoms. ⋯ A careful observation to detect any subsequent relapse of COVID-19 symptoms is necessary in immunocompromised patients.

Unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (UAPA) with or without other anomalies in the heart is a rare congenital malformation. A 55-year-old Filipino woman without a remarkable medical history was admitted to our hospital for hemoptysis. ⋯ We diagnosed her with isolated left-sided UAPA and performed transarterial embolization of the left inferior phrenic artery. This resolved the hemoptysis, and there was no recurrence during the four-year follow-up period.
