This 74-years old individual had a CT scan 1 month after her COViD-19 diagnosis showing consolidation and thick bands in the lower lobes. 10 weeks later, the lesions have resorbed. This appearance has been labeled the “melted sugar” appearance, though I have a feeling that this translation from Mandarin, is likely more “cotton candy”, which is what the appearance looks like – wisps of residual ground glass and reticular opacities.
