A 58-year-old woman underwent CT thorax for completion staging for breast cancer, 4-weeks post-COVID-19 infection requiring 2 weeks of hospital admission but no mechanical ventilation. (a) Axial unenhanced CT shows peripheral consolidation and admixed GGO, with a perilobular pattern. (b) Follow-up CT at 11 weeks shows complete resolution of consolidation and the perilobular pattern, but a residual “free-standing” GGO in the same regions with no fibrotic features. The patient was already completely asymptomatic at 4 weeks and remained so at 11 weeks, suggesting radiological improvement may lag behind short-term clinical improvement; however, the longer-term impact on respiratory function, if any, is currently unclear.
