Spontaneous pneumothorax has previously been described as a presenting symptom of lung cancer. This presentation can, unfortunately, complicate and delay further definitive oncologic care until the pneumothorax can be effectively managed. We describe the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax and persistent air leak related to his primary lung carcinoma. Endobronchial valve placement allowed for the avoidance of pleurodesis, timely discharge, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by definitive surgical resection.
自发性气胸以前曾被描述为肺癌的一种表现症状。这种表现可能会使进一步的明确肿瘤治疗变得复杂和延迟，直到气胸得到有效控制。我们描述了一位 58 岁男性的病例，他因原发性肺癌出现继发自发性气胸和持续的气胸漏，我们使用支气管内单向活瓣置入术来避免行胸膜固定术，实现及时出院和新辅助化疗，随后进行了确定性手术切除。
