Spontaneous pneumothorax in primary cavitating lung carcinoma

RG Laurens Jr, JR Pine and EG Honig

Primary cavitating lung carcinomas have not previously been described with spontaneous pneumothorax as the presenting manifestation. Two patients whose pneumothoraces resulted in the initial diagnosis of a primary cavitary lung carcinoma are described. Pathologic evidence of vascular invasion suggests tumor necrosis with secondary rupture into the pleural space as a likely mechanism for pneumothorax.
