Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes significant morbidity and mortality for a proportion of infected patients, and our knowledge and understanding of its clinical, radiological and histopathological features are still evolving. An association between COVID-19 and pneumothorax has been described in an increasing number of case reports and series in the literature, which have largely focused on clinical and imaging features. We report the case of a patient who developed COVID-19 complicated by pneumothorax, requiring surgical intervention. We describe the histopathological features seen in the thorascopically resected bullectomy specimen-this is, to our knowledge, the first reported description of the morphological features of pneumothorax in this important clinical setting.
