Here we present the case of a 59-year-old patient, previously healthy, who consulted for exertional dyspnea one year after having presented a CoVID-19 infection without severe respiratory symptoms and managed on an outpatient basis. Chest CT showed several intraparenchymal cysts with normal lung function. The diagnostic possibilities and the most frequent pathologies that can produce these pulmonary cysts are discussed.
