Spontaneous pulmonary hernia (SPH) is a rare condition. We report a case secondary to extreme coughing and COVID-19 infection. The patient displayed several clinical features typical of this diagnosis; difficult to manage pain on coughing, flank haematoma and bulging of the chest wall on coughing. Clinicians should be aware of the risk factors and clinical features of SPH to aid diagnosis of this rare condition.
