Abstract

This report presents a case of a 49-year-old woman with complaint of sore throat and front neck pain, who referred to a hospital for thyroid scan due to suppressed TSH level (0.005 mU/L). Diffuse and bilateral lungs uptake in the scan was noticed incidentally. The patient had positive history of COVID-19 symptoms. Multifocal and bilateral ground-glass opacities (GGOs) in both lungs were compatible with typical features of lung involvement in COVID-19-associated pneumonia.
