ABSTRACT
A 65-year-old man with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography detected bilateral pneumonia with a lung nodule suspicious for lung cancer. Lobectomy was performed 3 months after the treatment for COVID-19 without any complications. The surgical specimen revealed fibrosis below the pleura with a small collection of lymphocytes and intravascular hemorrhagic thrombosis, and no residual RNA was detected. This is the first report describing a surgical specimen after recovery from COVID-19 pneumonia, and suggests that elective thoracic surgery can be performed safely, depending on the patient's respiratory function, without infectious risk.
