Figure 5 Axial computed tomography image.
A: Axial computed tomography (CT) image of a 45-year-old patient with coronavirus disease 2019 showing left peripheral consolidation with perilobular distribution (arrows) suggesting organizing pneumonia; B: Axial CT image showing bilateral ground-glass opacities distributed in the subpleural regions (arrows) in a renal cancer patient confirmed with coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia; C: Axial CT image showing multifocal ground-glass opacities in the right lung (orange arrows) and nodular consolidation (black arrow) in a renal cancer patient diagnosed with immune-related pneumonitis after treatment with nivolumab; D: Axial CT image of a patient suffering from immune-related pneumonitis showing multifocal, bandlike consolidation in the left lower lobe (arrows) with peripheral sparing (asterisk) suggesting organizing pneumonia; E and F: The last is a case of immune-related pneumonitis in a patient undergoing ipilimumab plus nivolumab for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma, whose baseline axial CT image (E) shows bilateral solid metastatic nodules; the axial CT image obtained after starting immunotherapy (F) shows new multifocal ground-glass opacities (orange arrows) with interval enlargement and an increasing number of pulmonary nodules (black arrow).
