Radiol Case Rep. 2021 Apr;16(4):942-944. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2021.01.051. Epub 2021 Jan 31.

Abstract

Since the widespread of acute respiratory syndrome infection caused by Coronavirus-19, chest computed tomography (CT) was considered a useful imaging tool commonly used in early diagnosis and monitoring of patients with complicated Covid-19 pneumonia. Many typical imaging features of this disease were carefully described with chest CT, as well as the collateral CT findings in the lungs and mediastinum. Here we describe the case of a patient with Covid-19 pneumonia, that collaterally had a pulmonary hamartoma in the left lung, documented at CT.
