The main reportedly chest CT features of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) have been fully discussed in the literature, but there is still a paucity of reports on uncommon CT manifestations. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#0000ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Case presentation:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Herewith, we have reported ten rRT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 patients with CT target signs (bull&amp;rsquo;s eye appearance); additionally, we have reviewed previously reported cases. Reviewing the literature, we found eight COVID-19 patients with target sign in the literature. 18 patients were included with a median age of 43. 11 (61%) patients were males. In 87% of patients, the lesions developed within the second-week post symptom onset. These patients mostly experienced an extended hospital stay (median = 10 days), with 53.8% of cases being admitted in ICU. The in-hospital mortality rate was 23%.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#0000ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Our findings indicate that lesions with a bull&amp;rsquo;s eye appearance are not significantly associated with higher mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</abstract>
