Digital radiography images and chest computed tomography images were obtained, and a pulmonary histological study was also performed. The novelty of the case is given by the current relevance of the use of imaging and histological studies of this pandemic entity that has spread rapidly throughout the world whose histopathological changes are not fully understood, which undermines clinical identification adequate treatment of patients and the implementation of effective therapeutic strategies, which is why this article was prepared with the aim of showing the findings in the diagnostic imaging corroborated with histology.
