Abstrakt: BACKGROUND: There are substantial concerns about fibrotic and vascular pulmonary sequelae after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).AQ1 Histopathology reports of lung biopsies from COVID-19 survivors are scarce. CASE: We herein report results of functional and histopathological studies in a 70 year-old man undergoing a co-incidental tumor lobectomy six months after long-term mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 pneumonia. CONCLUSION: Despite several unfavorable risk factors, this case presentation shows a completed pulmonary recovery process within a few months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
