Chondroblastoma is a benign bone tumor with a relatively high incidence in older children and adolescents. Although it is generally regarded as a benign neoplasm, it sometimes grows aggressively or recurs but rarely metastasizes to the lung. We herein present a very rare case of a bilateral pneumothorax due to a pulmonary metastasis from a chondroblastoma. A 21-year-old man developed a bilateral pneumothorax 20 months after an operation for a chondroblastoma of the right ischium. A pertinent literature review revealed similar cases of chondroblastoma with pulmonary metastasis, but revealed no reports of a pneumothorax caused by a metastatic chondroblastoma.
成软骨细胞瘤是一种良性骨肿瘤,在大龄儿童和青少年中发病率相对较高。虽然它通常被认为是一种良性肿瘤,但有时也会表现出侵袭性生长或复发,很少转移到肺部。本文报告了一例非常罕见的因成软骨细胞瘤肺转移导致双侧气胸的病例。一名 21 岁男性在右侧坐骨成软骨细胞瘤手术后 20 个月发生双侧气胸。相关文献复习显示,有类似的成软骨细胞瘤伴肺转移病例,但没有因转移性成软骨细胞瘤导致气胸的报道。
