Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection has varied manifestations, ranging from predominant respiratory symptoms to only gastrointestinal manifestations to completely asymptomatic course. Coronavirus can be found in the stool even after other symptomatic recovery and nasal/ pharyngeal swab become negative. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement in COVID-19 also has varied manifestations which can range from diarrheal illness to necrotizing colitis. We hereby reported a case of colonic ulcerations presented as caecal mass which developed during COVID-19 infection recovery.
