COVID-19 pneumonia is a common manifestation of an infection with the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Radiology findings in such patients are described elsewhere (1,2) and are encountered by many radiologists on daily basis. With growing number of examinations and protracted courses of the disease, radiologists face complications which are not commonly seen in other viral pneumonias, specifically cavitating pulmonary lesions developed in place of previous areas of consolidations.
