Chest computed tomography (CT) images in the axial and coronal views, before and after the onset of COVID-19. (A) CT images one month before admission showing cystic destruction of the lung parenchyma throughout both lungs. (B) CT images on admission showing slight consolidation of the lungs with diffuse multiple cysts (arrows) in the lower lobes.

COVID-19, spirometry showed a forced expiratory volume in 1 s of 520 mL, 24.9% of the predicted value. Chest computed tomography (CT) images taken one month before admission showed marked cystic destruction of the lung parenchyma due to LAM throughout both lungs (Fig. 1A). LAM in both lower lobes (Fig. 1B). Laboratory tests showed a decreased lymphocyte count (509 cells/muL), but other test results such as D-dimer, ferritin, and C-reactive protein levels were normal.
