[THE SPONTANEOUS PNEUMOTHORAX INTERPRETATION, DIFFICULTIES DURING HISTIOCYTOSIS X].

Since spontaneous pneumothorax can be a complication, and sometimes a manifestation of significant amount of intrathoracic and extrathoracic diseases, verifying the process can be very difficult. One of these diseases is the local (pulmonary) histiocytosis X. Authors cite the etiological diagnosis experience of spontaneous pneumothorax during current pathology. According to their data, spontaneous pneumothorax on the histiocytosis X background found in 3 patients.
