Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome virus coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which mainly affects lungs with common symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. COVID-19 is an ongoing global pandemic causing a serious health problem. Computerized Tomography (CT) has an important role in initial evaluation and follows up of the disease. Main CT finding of the disease is bilateral extensive ground-glass opacification with a peripheral or posterior distribution, mainly involving the lower lobes. In this report, we present a case of pneumothorax in a patient with COVID-19 undergoing bone oncologic surgery and the subsequent management and follow-up.
