Abstract A 40‐year‐old man was admitted with a diagnosis of COVID‐19 pneumonia. Although most of multiple ground‐glass opacities and consolidations on computed tomography improved, a round ground‐glass opacity with consolidation remained unchanged and was suspected to be a part‐solid nodule of lung adenocarcinoma. Pathologic diagnosis of resected tumor was papillary adenocarcinoma.
