Septic Pulmonary Embolism(SPE) is a rare septicemia caused by primary infection located at another site.Wereportedan elderly patient followedon oncology department, for low rectal cancer who presented respiratory failure with fever.In order to diagnosis covid-19 who was suspected in first intention, a chest CT scan confirmed a SPE by the presence of the Feeding Vessel Sign associated with bilateral noduleswith and without cavitations localized predominantly in low lobes and bilateral pleural effusion.This report allowed us to describe the imaging?s features due to SPE, to emphasize the importance of the Feeding Vessel Sign and to precise the differential diagnose in which we noticed that sign. We conclude that CT scan play main role to show the Feeding Vessel Sign and all the others signs inthe recognition of SPE. In adults with tumor history, the differentialdiagnoses to recognize are mainly metastasis and covid -19 infection.
