The year 2020 has been marked by the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS CO-V-2) disease (COVID-19). The virus has infected millions of people around the world. Lung is the most commonly affected organ of body. Various radio-logical manifestation of disease on lungs reported so far include ground glass, consolidations. Cysts or pneumatocele have rarely been reported. We here present a case of patient who presented to us with a spontaneous pneumothorax and during surgery was found to have pneumatocele. The aim of the case here is to highlight the variety of ways COVID-19 can affect the lungs.
