Abstract

The typical manifestations of novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia on computed tomography include ground‐glass opacities, air bronchogram sign, crazy‐paving pattern, consolidation, multiple small patchy shadows, spider web sign, cord‐like, nodular, pleural thickening, lymphadenopathy, and pleural effusion. Herein, we report a case of cavitary lesions and bilateral multilobar involvement in the late period of COVID-19 pneumonia.
