Özet

Most frequent findings in computed tomography (CT) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are usually bilateral,
basal, and peripherally located ground glass opacification and consolidation. Cavitary lesions in the lungs usually result
from bacterial and fungal infections, malignities, and rheumatologic diseases. In literature, cavitary lesions in CT related
to COVID-19 are rarely reported. In this case report, CT showed a single cavitary lesion, which was 6 centimeters in
diameter and developed 7 days after discussing the COVID-19 diagnosis in a 70-year-old—Caucasian—female patient.
