## Abstract

We report a case of a high-risk patient with multiple comorbidities who underwent right median lobectomy and lymph node resection due to a carcinoid tumor. The patient’s course was complicated by a hospital-acquired severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and a postoperative chest hematoma requiring urgent thoracotomy.
