A Rare Computed Tomography Finding as Pulmonary Cavity in COVID-19: A Case Report

Most frequent findings in computed tomography (CT) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are usually bilateral, basal, and peripherally located ground glass opacification and consolidation. Cavitary lesions in the lungs usually result from bacterial and fungal infections, malignities, and rheumatologic diseases. In literature, cavitary lesions in CT related to COVID-19 are rarely reported. In this case report, CT showed a single cavitary lesion, which was 6 centimeters in diameter and developed 7 days after discussing the COVID-19 diagnosis in a 70-year-old—Caucasian—female patient.
