Abstract

Various radiological findings have been detected associated with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). We present here a middle-aged patient with a thick-walled cavitary lesion resembling lung cancer radiologically after COVID-19. Most of the etiological factors for cavitary lung lesions were investigated, and no specific cause was found. After empirical dual antibiotic treatment, the cavitary and the nodular lesion were observed to regress almost completely in control thorax computed tomography. For this reason, we considered the cavity of our patient as a late complication of COVID-19 and also we advocate the importance of monitoring patients with clinical data and laboratory values as well as radiological findings after contracting COVID-19

Özet

Coronavirus hastalığı 2019 (COVID-19) sırasında çeşitli radyolojik bulgular tespit edilebilir. COVID-19 sonrası radyolojik olarak akciğer kanserini düşündüren kalın duvarlı kaviter lezyonu olan orta yaşlı bir hastayı sunuyoruz. Hastamızda kaviter akciğer lezyonlarının etiyolojik faktörlerinden bir çoğu araştırıldı ve herhangi spesifik bir neden bulunamadı. Ampirik ikili antibiyotik tedavisi sonrası kontrol toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde kaviter ve nodüler lezyonların tama yakın gerilediği gözlendi. Bu nedenle hastamızın kavitesini COVID-19'un geç bir komplikasyonu olarak değerlendirdik ve ayrıca COVID-19 enfeksiyonu sonrası hastaların klinik verileri ve laboratuvar değerlerinin yanı sıra radyolojik bulguları ile de izlenmesinin önemini vurguladık.
