The case of a woman aged 65 who presented pneumothorax following sternal marrow needle biopsy after diagnosis of thrombocytosis is reported. The complication was certainly attributable to the biopsy because chest X-ray immediately prior had been perfectly normal. No other cases of the kind have been reported. It is probable that this complication occurred because air passed into the pleural cavity, probably through a fracture rim at the internal face of the sternal bone trabeculae.
报告了一例65岁女性病例，该患者在诊断为血小板增多症后进行胸骨骨髓穿刺活检后出现气胸。这种并发症肯定归因于活检，因为在此之前的胸部X光检查完全正常。尚未有其他此类病例的报告。这种并发症可能是因为空气进入了胸腔，很可能是通过胸骨骨小梁内表面的骨折边缘进入的。
