Aim: Our study aimed to evaluate the atypical CT findings and concomitant pathologies of COVID-19 pneumonia and clinical and laboratory findings and compare them with typical CT findings.Materials and Methods: A total of 69 patients were diagnosed with COVID-19, 14 of which were atypical (20.2%), and 55 of which were typical (79%) chest computed tomography (CT) findings. CT images and clinical and laboratory data of patients with atypical findings were retrospectively analyzed. Lesions of the typical and atypical group and CT severity scores were compared.Results: Atypical CT findings were centrilobular nodule, tree in bud, pleural effusion, lobar/segmental consolidation, bronchiectasis, pulmonary embolism, and mosaic attenuation by typical lesions with ground-glass opacity with/without consolidation. CT severity score was significantly higher in the atypical group (p
