Spontaneous pneumothorax is an uncommon complication of lung metastatic disease. In most of the cases reported until today, the primary disease was a sarcoma (osteogenic sarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, hemangioendotheliosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma). An exceptional case of spontaneous pneumothorax in a patient suffering from carcinoma of the breast with lung metastases, is herein presented. The pneumothorax developed immediately after regression of lung metastases during administration of combined chemotherapy. Some etiological factors, as well as the rarity of this complication and its treatment, are also discussed.
自发性气胸是肺转移性疾病的一种罕见并发症。在迄今为止报道的大多数病例中，原发性疾病为肉瘤（骨肉瘤、软组织肉瘤、血管内皮肉瘤和尤因肉瘤）。本文报告了一例患有乳腺癌伴肺转移的患者发生自发性气胸的特殊病例。该气胸在联合化疗期间肺转移灶消退后立即出现。文中还讨论了一些病因以及该并发症的罕见性及其治疗方法。
