    What COVID-19 brings with: incidental solitary pulmonary nodules
    (2022) Çetin, Mehmet; Tartar, Hasan
    Background: Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans for preliminary diagnosis of COVID-19 can \rbe used as a tool to detect solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).\rMaterials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the thoracic CT reports of 5416 patients, aged \r45-75, who presented to our hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of COVID-19 in 2020.\rResults: Pulmonary nodules/masses were detected in 85 patients. 56 of these were male, and 29 female. \r63 patients (74%) had SPNs, 11 (13%) masses, and 11 (13%) multiple nodules. 5 patients were in \rfollow-up for malignancy, and 21 (21%) arrived for follow-up after the detection of nodule/mass. 11 \rpatients died due to pulmonary pathologies.\rConclusions: COVID-19-related concerns have seriously disrupted the follow-up of pulmonary \rnodules. However, the widespread use of CT serves as a kind of lung cancer screening.
