    A study was conducted to identify the main oral soft tissue lesions in pregnant women diagnosed with symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19, attended at the Hospital Docente Madre Niño San Bartolomé in Lima, Peru, from October to December 2020. This descriptive, cross-sectional study examined pregnant women with COVID-19. Results: 37% of pregnant women with COVID-19 presented macular enanthem in the oral cavity; among them, 32% had the lesion in the tonsillar fossa, 3% in the uvula, and 1% in the soft palate. Similarly, 11% of pregnant women with COVID-19 developed macular enanthem during the first trimester, 5% during the second trimester, and 84% during the third trimester. Symptomatic pregnant women with COVID-19 who presented macular enanthem accounted for 7%, while asymptomatic cases accounted for 30%. Conclusion: Pregnant women with COVID-19 presented macular enanthem lesions, most frequently in the tonsillar fossa (32%).
