As the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to spread, some patients are presenting with abdominal symptoms without respiratory complaints.

Our case series documents four patients who presented with abdominal symptoms whose abdominopelvic CT revealed incidental pulmonary parenchymal findings in the imaged lung bases and were subsequently confirmed positive for COVID-19 via laboratory testing. Our case series describes four patients who presented to our health system with only abdominal symptomatology but notably without respiratory or thoracic symptoms, which triggered abdominopelvic CT imaging. Excluded from this series are presumed COVID-19 patients who presented with abdominal pain and similar lung CT findings, but not confirmed positive with nasopharyngeal swab.	./cache/cord-301762-g14aik1e.txt	./txt/cord-301762-g14aik1e.txt
