COVID-19 Pneumonia Presenting with Multiple Nodules Mimicking Metastases: An Atypical Case

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an outbreak causing pneumonia due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and computed tomography (CT) images are a significant part of the diagnosis of COVID-19 related pneumonia. Typical chest CT findings are bilateral peripheral groun...

description Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an outbreak causing pneumonia due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and computed tomography (CT) images are a significant part of the diagnosis of COVID-19 related pneumonia. Typical chest CT findings are bilateral peripheral ground-glass opacities (GGO) with or without consolidation. Although rare, atypical CT findings have been described, no case of COVID-19 causing multiple solid pulmonary nodules has been reported. In this article, atypical CT findings of a 45-year-old female patient with multiple solid pulmonary nodules mimicking metastasis diagnosed with COVID-19 confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Teaching point: COVID-19 pneumonia may mimic multiple metastatic nodules radiologically.
