This is a 52-year-old Caucasian female patient, a teacher by profession, with no personal pathological history of interest, who was admitted to the intensive care unit with COVID-19 pneumonia, after several pharmacological treatments and 20 days with a severe restrictive ventilatory pattern, without improvement and finally died. Images were obtained by digital radiography and computed axial tomography of the chest, and a lung histological study was performed. The application of imaging studies allows the observation of histopathological changes for the adequate clinical identification of patients and the implementation of effective therapeutic strategies. The imaging findings that were corroborated by the histopathological study are reported.

Keywords : SARS-CoV-2; COVID 19; imaging; histology; case report.
