Sumario: | The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in widespread infection with significant morbidity and mortality. Primarily involving the respiratory system, COVID-19 has also been known to cause systemic findings. Cavitary lesions in the setting of COVID-19 have been rarely reported in literature and the treatment and management of these lesions are poorly understood and defined. We present a case of a patient with a history of COVID-19 infection found to have cavitary lesions, eventually improving with supportive care. While our patient showed marked improvement with observation, more extensive studies and patient populations are needed to guide clinicians and cavitary lesion management in the setting of COVID-19. |
