ABSTRACT
Lung cyst is an atypical computed tomography (CT) thorax finding in COVID-19 pneumonia. Cyst in COVID-19 may result independent of mechanical ventilation. The cyst may rupture causing pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax or may get secondarily infected resulting in an adverse outcome in patients. Here, we describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 19 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia with lung cysts detected in CT thorax. A total of 17 (89%) of our patients survived uneventfully and 2 died due to complications unrelated to the cysts.
