Pneumatoceles in patients with COVID-19 have been described in the literature however, little is known about its incidence and patophisiology. Clinically and with available imaging techniques is hard to discern between a pneumatocele and a bullae. Both have different phisiopatology and treatment, the final diagnosis is always anatomopathological. We report the perioperative management of a 41 year old man scheduled for right thoracotomy, aerostasis , neumatocele resection and pulmonary absess by Staphilococcus Aureus Meticillin sensitive after COVID-19 pneumonia. The perioperative course was without incident. The anatomophatologic analysis reveled a subpleural bullae and intense fibrosis.
