ABSTRACT
A 31-year-old woman who had multiple orthopedic surgeries on the left lower limb and recently suffered from pain and redness in the lateral left lower thigh was referred to the hospital to rule out osteomyelitis by [99mTc]UBI scintigraphy. Except soft tissue inflammation in the mentioned region, the scan showed significant and diffuse both lungs uptake incidentally. The patient had experienced symptoms of COVID-19 disease recently. Chest HRCT scan also revealed multiple segmental ground-glass opacities (GGOs) which were typical features for lung involvement of COVID-19 associated pneumonia.
