ABSTRACT
Children with COVID-19 fare much better than adults but less is known about children with both COVID-19 and a cancer diagnosis in terms of clinical outcome and imaging. We describe our experience with a cohort of children with COVID-19 and cancer who have undergone medical imaging. We reviewed imaging and recorded clinical data and separated this group into two subgroups - hematologic and solid malignancies. Our observational data show that 1)children with hematologic malignancies may be at higher risk for complications, including death than, those with solid tumors, 2) that pulmonary imaging in the former group more often shows abnormalities and 3) that presence of pulmonary imaging abnormalities may portend an unfavorable outcome.
