Introduction

In Wuhan, China, in December 2019, a series of pneumonia cases of unknown etiology appeared, soon after diagnosed as being caused by a novel coronavirus initially titled 2019 novel coronavirus (2019 -nCoV) and subsequently officially named COVID -19 by the WHO on February 11, 2020 [1].

As of February 14, 2020, there are 49,053 laboratory -confirmed cases globally [2], 15 of which are in the United States [3]. There is a small but growing body of literature regarding the imaging findings of COVID -19, and the purpose of this case report is to describe the imaging and associated clinical features of an asymptomatic COVID -19 patient outside Wuhan, China, including an imaging finding previously not reported.
